It was pretty bad, lol

The only thing I liked about it was the fact that Sandy punched him

I also heard there was a line where Ryan indicated abandonment was worse than abuse, which is...special.

**stlavin95** · 11-29-2020, 02:25 AM

Yeah, the show tried really hard to ignore how abusive he was

**Cristofle** · 11-29-2020, 03:42 PM

That was one case where I was questioning Josh, heh. Like "Wait...do you think it's better that your father is beating the crap out of you as long as he stays home?"

**stlavin95** · 11-30-2020, 02:10 AM

I guess so, lol

Y-I-K-E-S. People flee abusive spouses and parents for a reason.

**stlavin95** · 12-03-2020, 02:49 AM

No he did not

**Cristofle** · 12-03-2020, 06:35 PM

His MOTHER abandoning him was clearly hurtful. His father? He did not say ****, lol.

**stlavin95** · 12-04-2020, 03:09 AM

Nope, not at all

**Cristofle** · 12-04-2020, 06:49 PM

**stlavin95** · 12-04-2020, 07:42 PM
