Well, clearly Jimmy gets his personality from his mother and not his bigoted drunken father. Paula was very likable. Jeremy didn't seem to fare much better in the father department, Anthony seems cold and detached. I know all too well the mental damage that that can cause a son. But maybe with all that is happening in this story now, things will get better in the Thayer family. Certainly, the brothers are now closer. Once again, *****s and looking forward to the next chapter. MLF
Again, excellent writing and story telling! It’s so real and full of honest emotions. I never want each chapter to end.
Great chapter yet again! Really happy for Jeremy and his siblings and how they are supporting each other and being vulnerable that they’ve struggled too. But…Just because Jeremy’s mother hugged him at that moment, she has been around and probably just as focused on family appearances rather than love, honesty and acceptance. At the very least she has been complicit in what her spouse was doing and saying so I think it’s unfair to essentially place the blame almost entirely at the father’s feet for Jeremy’s and his sibs performance based parental acceptance. That being said Anthony was angry not indifferent, and that’s a hopeful sign that things may change. Let’s hope the parents prioritize attending the trial. Jimmy Is done for, but so is Jeremy so let’s plan a wedding once the trial is done!
