[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her dad was relatively stable and offered her a clean, safe place to stay, with backup care for Maddy when she was sick. I kept waiting for there to be strings attached or for him to be a monster.  But her only reason for moving out was a realization that YEARS PAST when he was an alcoholic, he hit her mother.   He's now sober, a Christian, and keeps on her ex boyfriend to get him to go to AA meetings.  I think she was crazy for turning down his help.  She should have done almost anything to stay with him and his wife who also seemed kind and stable.  [/quote]

I completely agree with this. I think it’s just people and liberal shows hating on born again Christians mostly. [/quote]

I agree with this and I am a lefty, feminist, atheist. There was stability there. The child was young, you could shape their values differently down the line, but she was in dire straits and this was a place to land for a bit.

I do think it kind of goes with the theme though; she's not equipped to do this, had a kid too young, is repeating family patters across generations, and is so just stumbling around like a lot of aimless 25 year olds who can't figure out their lives. Her stakes are just so much higher with a kid in tow. [/quote]

Two things here - one: she was traumatized by what she realized about her dad. And she remembered/discovered it in a really jarring/shocking way. Considering what she had just gone through in her own relationship it's not surprising that her reaction would be to run. Two: her dad NEVER owned up to it, and not only that, as illustrated by the last couple of episodes, he minimizes what her own boyfriend did to her and instead tries to put it on her to fix things. He wants Alex to do what he thought Paula should have done for him. Even though he got it together, he sucks. [/quote]

THANK YOU. He fully supports the boyfriend because he sees himself- alcoholic, etc- but doesnt support his own daughter. Takes him to AA meetings, gets him a job, sat there while she got belittled. etc. [/quote]
