[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the flashbacks of Jack (Milo). Do you think he was that perfect of a husband/father or they just want to remember him that way?[/quote]

I think he had many great moments but I think they have created a narrative that he was perfect. We know he was not and that he had many bad moments, but he has achieved saint status and all the wrongs are forgotten (like when Jack falls asleep at the movies and loses Kevin).

I think this happens a lot when someone dies young. Their transgressions or moments of being human are forgotten and they are remembered as flawless. Which makes living up to their memory impossible.[/quote]

+1. Also, he was an alcoholic who had cut off his brother and barely acknowledged his mother. I don't think we ever saw him at AA, let alone individual therapy. I think he did his best, which was pretty good, but it's hard to believe there weren't some dysfunctions that got passed along. It seems evident that he overcompensated with his big gestures which kind of messed up Kevin and Kate. Kevin is searching for something unrealistic; Kate thinks no man can measure up. Randall probably did better because he always identified with and was closer to Rebecca.[/quote]
