[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was Roman so nice to Kerry?  You'd think he didn't give a rats ass about her.  [/quote]
Because she knows that Logan was grooming Roman to take over the company at the time of his death.[/quote]

I think you read this question the wrong way round. [/quote]

Roman has always had more sensitivity than the other two.  This shows it.  He can be sarcastic and biting, but at his core he is more fragile and uncomfortable with some of the things required of him---like having to fire Geri, etc.  Shiv would have zero problem with any of it.  She is missing the sensitivity chip.

Some of the past talk with siblings about locking Roman in the dog crate and how he was weaker than the others, speak to it.  Even with Shiv being older.[/quote]

Shiv is not older. Shiv is the youngest. Roman is the middle child. This actually tracks very well with heir personalities -- Kendall is the confident oldest (often over-confident because he is used to dominating siblings who are younger and not on his level), Shiv is the entitled baby, Roman is the insecure/ignored middle child.

In a dysfunctional family, the oldest often takes on a parental role (parentification), but since they have poor role models, what this actually means is that they copy their parents' abusive behavior toward younger kids. But the very youngest will often get special protection for being the youngest (something probably exacerbated in a family with three older boys where the youngest is a girl, and the parents subscribe to some old-school ideas about gender). So the middle kid takes the brunt of abuse not only from parents but from older siblings.[/quote]
