I'm impressed by Claire's behaviour: she seems worthy of Brian's trust.

I loved the "DHL, dead haddock Lindsay"!

Lindsay walked into that room ill prepared as usual and she got spanked.

Now Mommy and Daddy get their turn with her and I hope they know about her losing custody of Gus and her many orgies?

Re-reading this again and I noticed Deb's level of hatred towards Brian is high and it isn't because Brian rejected Michael.

It's because Brian is everything Michael will never be.

Brian took every obstacle in his way and turned it into Success, while Michael could get a hang nail and need Mommy to take care of him.

Brian didn't let anything or anyone stop him from working to turn his horrible past into his very bright future.

Michael resents Brian because he is everything Michael could try to be and as much as he wants to be loved by Brian, it is also how much he despises Brian for leaving him behind with every new success he achieved.

Even Lindsay resents Brian and craves him too because without him she is nothing and with him she can only remain in the Friend Zone along with Michael.

They all basked in the glow of being associated with Brian and resented that they need it in  order to get any attention

Especially Deb who sees her son as Perfect, a Burden and her Biggest Failure who never progressed past four mentally and twelve in maturity.  

Can't Wait For The Next Chapter :)

Hello Writers-Flock,

 

next epic Review is due. I am seriously to slooooow to keep up with you...

 

 

37: oh yeah, Witches Sabbath in the Pitts! And here we go again… Ms Grassi and Mrs Kinney at their worst. But no more tantrums or rants because they will never change - I have finally resigned and abandoned all hope that anything in this direction will ever happen. Nonetheless: I am very sure that every action will be followed by an appropriate reaction - the queens, bears and fairies of Liberty will never forget... and beware! Annihilation step 2 is brewing

 

And I'm so immensely pleased with Justin! He will protect poor stunned Brian with everything he has, wicked, cutting tongue and all. Let your inner WASP sting, Sunshine!... If only it weren't such a shame that absolutely nothing of what he says will trickle into their brains

 

Lindsay... well, let's say she kills every little glimpse of seemingly decency with boat-loads of crap - and slowly but surely she will sink in it.

 

 

38: Ha! Brian is back and lays down the law. He is so finished with his so called mothers and I so wish he would go through with going to Joan's church...

In one point, however, I have to contradict Brian in all this: he isn't motherless. He has Del and will have Jen, to some extent Mami and her gaggle... plenty enough mother-figures in his live.

And there are some really fiercely loyal fag hags around him - Daph and Cyn are some scary Ladies. They will bite everyone's head of if it is necessary.

 

The interaction between Lindsay and Debbie shows to me how boneheaded Deb really is: she seems to think that Michael will be the good son and support her. But in this regards Lindsay is right: Michael will drop his mother like a hot potato if it seemingly benefits him. She will be on her own and should really try to bring her sheep in the dry… but I don't know if crossing both Michael and Lindsay is actually the best way to do so.

 

I love how Justin takes care of Brian, helps him to unwind and getting his thoughts of things.

 

 

39: Wow! There is actually a Kinney who gets it! Claire has overcome her disturbing legacy of sermons and punches. She ripped her kids out of this toxic environment and doesn't repeat the disgusting mistakes that her mother apparently still considers admissible. Claire seems to love her gay son ... and yes, her gay brother too!

 

So, Joan told father Tom what happened? And he saw through her woe-story and called her on her bullshit. Rightly so! But naturally Joan knows best what God wants and what his words mean, better as her fellow church-goers, and certainly better as a priest! And Joan has the gall to call Claire sanctimonious? Oh really??? What a black souled Witch-Bitch!

When she leaves her church, what will she do? St. Joan will be all alone: she condemned her Children, she doesn't have Friends, there seems to be no other family members... will she live as hermit? Read the Bible and live on air and booze alone?

Well, in my opinion Claire's 'duty as a daughter' doesn’t exist, as she was saying. Joan has forfeited all rights of getting help from both her children.

Is there a possibility for adult children to be emancipated from their parents? Maybe Claire and Brian should start a legal procedure that severs any connection to her? No inheritances for them but also no further responsibility for Joan. (Here in Germany adult children have to pay for nursing homes and care even if they are estranged to their parents if these can't afford it. It takes extensive legal actions to rectify this – if there is actually a chance at all.)

 

Debs recon-mission clearly doesn't go according to plan. Vics handling of his obnoxious Sister is very good and I knew it! He didn’t want to share a name with her. It's sweet that Vic and Rodney got married but it is sad that Rodney died… they should have had a longer married life together.

 

Am I right when I think Vic laid one carefully crafted trap before Debs feet by telling her the addresses? There are still these restraining orders of Mel and Ben out there. Deb and Michael will break them if they come to Mels door...

 

It's great that Jen and Craig are so committed to Brian. The Taylors have fully figured out Lindsay's games and are suitably equipped to stop them.

 

However, what I do not really understand yet, is what Debbie wants to achieve by sending her notebook to the Petersons. Sure, the information that Lindsay has $ 70.000 sabotaged her attempts of trying to squeeze more money out of Ron, but it does not benefit Deb… hmm...

 

 

and now I am waiting for the next developments

 

Warm greetings from Germany

Katharina

Great chapter.  Love that Claire & Brian have made up and that Lindsay is sinking deeper and deeper.

Looks like Brian has the backing of all the right people and Lindsay is in trouble.  Can't wait to see what you have planned for Ms. Grassi and Mr. Devore.

Lindsay like Deb and Michael showed her true colors and she lost everything now, no way will Brian listen to anything she has to say even if it was the truth.

She burnt the last bridge she had to Brian and now she is in the same sinking boat as The Grassies.

I doubt her parents will be willing to throw her another life preserver cause all her lies are coming out.

Even if Justin has to wait until he is thirty he will still have more money than Lindsay, due to him actually having talent while Lindsay just has holes to plug.

Vic handled Deb wonderfully.

All Deb can see is what everyone owes her she doesn't see that relationships aren't tally sheets to be used to keep people tied to you, all her cruelty is being thrown back at her and Michael 10xs worse with no end in sight. (The security guard calling her mister was just a cherry on top lol)

Joan is going to be alone with her bottles and bible to keep her company now.

Claire wised up to get herself and kids out of a bad situation to save them and now she is happy, her sons are happy, she has a good man and soon they will be embarking on a Great adventure.

So happy she apologized and meant it so Brian can forgive and move forward to a better relationship with his sister and nephews.

Brian has a Great support system which it seems will soon be growing.

Fantastic Update, Thanks :)
