I'm beginning to see how that night unfolded.
T was at risk for being out on her ear.
Garden of the Gods. Withheld Gannon’s meds, if I heard that right. The fauxcrying over Kobe. BK. For sure the meal you choose for a child with digestive issues.
Gannon punished for an unknown infraction. (Was he punished for involuntary bathroom accidents???? Not to be graphic but chronic constipation can result in spontaeous leakage. Absolutely no way to anticipate or control that.)
Truth in the lie. Gannon was in the basement playing on his Switch perhaps. Hears T coming downstairs, tries to hide the Switch because he's afraid... of her.
Wouldn't be surprised if T lunged at him and she knocked the candle over. (Candle to mask bathrooming odors from earlier, I'm thinking.) Starts a fire, burns/melts the carpet.
if you're keeping score:
Gannon possibly in trouble for IMO encopresis, over which he'd have no control.
Gannon possibly in trouble for having his Switch, which may have been taken away for reasons beyond his actual control.
Gannon in trouble for starting a fire, and therefore to blame for his worrisome burns.
0 for 3.
Gannon, not responsible for any of it.
T, 3 for 3. The (alleged) adult in the room. Recording him taking the blame. Sickening. Demented.
And this, this is what led to the avalanche of horrendous decisions.
Does T have a single, healthy coping skill?
The above bowled her over?
Pushed her over the parenting edge?
I think we may come to see that HH learned early in life that she was to be a bauble. The only feelings that matter, T's. Living in the shadow of a narcissistic mother...
I wonder if T was beginning to blame Gannon for threatening her marriage. Senseless but who knows how she thinks. Susan Smith moment. Disappear Gannon, surely that'll bring Al home. He'll comfort her, the family will be restored. Again, rubbish. But goes to motive.
It's just all so awful.
She and Harley could have packed up and driven away, told Al his kids were home alone and started a new life somewhere else.
Why, oh, why isn't there a rewind? Rewind her right out of Gannon's life....
