just imagine getting all those kids into the same room. again. and then toss in the adults. talk about a wild, wild time, but also, just imagine how tight knit that family unit would be. because that would be a village raising a child. or, in this case, a metric fuckton of children.we can dream of how lovely that would be.
i've always thought that Tam was more Faye's child than Morgan's, so his having that extra special emotional awareness makes perfect sense. and i like seeing the chaos through his eyes, because he's removed from it all. but he isn't? i think all of the older kids are well aware that there is something really not right with this whole mess, so they will, of course, react accordingly. Spencer is a little shit. and very much his father's son. so his reaction might be just a little bit understandable. just a little.
i don't think its just Haley's kids. i think some of the others are side-eyeing the whole thing. hers are just the ones that are giving voice to all of their feelings on the matter. and i feel like Cassie is, in some way, looking out for her parents. maybe she's a little bit dramatic about it all. maybe. but i'm sure that will level out as she gets older. (we can hope, right?) i'm sure Haley feels like her world is falling in around her shoulders. so i can understand why she'd put the walls back up. and Scott is not in an enviable position. not at all. he did the best he could, but yeah. there was no wrong or right or easy answer there at all.
Spencer is... young and frustrated because he knows that what happened messed with his mom and dad's relationship. and he just doesn't know how or where to channel his temper. so he's lashing out at whatever and whoever he can. he's lucky Liam didn't just up and deck him.
see, this is what happens when Dare is drugged up. she doesn't have the ability to filter what comes out of her mouth. and while, yes, people probably needed to hear the things she was thinking... this is probably not the best way for it to all go down.it kind of feels like most people didn't realize that Dare is a complex and complicated individual because most people associate her with anger and fire. granted, she tends to hoard her emotions because i think she feels like she shouldn't express her softer emotions. because doing so might jinx things. you know? so she keeps a lot wrapped up and hidden away. so now that she doesn't really have the capability to monitor her words, she's letting it all spill out. people will be hearing a lot of things they either don't want to or didn't even know. its going to take everyone a lot of effort to get her to let go of that way of thinking. maybe, if she does, she can start healing
there is definitely something wrong with Jehnna. and its obviously worrying to Warren. there very much is something going on with her, but maybe that isn't so surprising. this is the first time she's ever been made part of something so traumatic and frightening. hopefully Warren can find the right help for her with either Henry or Scott. maybe even both? fingers crossed someone can figure it out.
thanks. i can't wait to see where it all goes, either!
