Hello writers,
Lord in heaven! How can you be as blockheaded as Michael? If he had only focused a little fraction of this persistence on getting his live on the right track he could have made it and could have the good live he so desperately wants.
Okay… do I get this right? Michael started his campaign of second hand Child abuse because Deb punished him for hitting Brian? Not because she wrote in the diary he stole, she wished he would be like him?
Understand me right, I don’t think hitting your Child is adequate, but first: these were other times and the approach of parenting was way less over cautious and fussy in every aspect of life - even punishments. Robbi's take on help for Brian - teaching him how to hit back - is a testament to that. And second: Michael definitely deserved it!
It is a shame that Deb has such a split personality. If she had only stuck to the few good approaches she has had and had built on them, maybe this whole mess wouldn’t have happened. But well, we all know that she has in essence much of the same entitlement issues as Michael and kids learn by imitating.
It's really refreshing that Ben is finally a little less Zen and shows Deb how much she has hurt him personally and that he is firmly on Brian's side. Even a well-balanced man like Ben has his breaking point. Seeing first hand, how Deb still torments Brian without the slightest remorse and with the goal of getting him to cave, is clearly his.
Deb can only be thankful that this scene happened before Ben knew the complete horrific truth about how Michael has willingly and with callous disregard of his health (and with her obvious backing) endangered him. I really think Ben would have ended her if he knew then…
You know, I have no illusions about the world of lawyers, attorney, judges and so on… I'm aware that they have relationships amongst themselves – if you meet every other day you get to know one another whether you want it or not. And if you are one of the people who are liked… well… it will have benefits.
Clients who made themselves already unpopular with the first few words they direct to their attorney have to reckon with the fact that he will not really work with full heart and soul. If those attorneys also like the prosecutor and sympathize with the victim/plaintiff... well, you will be good and truly screwed. And I think Deb and Michael have three attorney working against them, a dedicated doctor, one or two judges, bailiffs, guards, police officers... you get my drift...
I'm glad that Brian on the surface was his usual snarky self and stayed strong... and I hope he will stay so for the whole excruciating remainder of the trial.
So, and now I'm going back to waiting
Greetings

Ben's explosion against Debbie was powerful: for someone so zen, it's a sign!

Tell me that Michael didn't think he and Brian would kiss and make up!? Now I feel like throwing up.

Will Deb and Michael's outburst outside of court be played for the jury, especially Deb attempting to slap Brian after berating him once again?
That poor attempt at button pushing had to be caught on security camera?
Michael hit Brian?
And because Deb disciplined Michael Brian got blamed?
She and Michael should be locked in a cell together away from everyone else, their kind of evil really shouldn't be spread, Ben telling off Deb was a long time coming, but making sure Michael won't get a cent from Ben's estate is Beautiful!!!
Deb yelling at Michael after finding out what Brian plans for her money is her still trying to get Brian to see her, but he refuses to acknowledge she even exists that has gotta hurt?
Daphne taking the stand is not good for them.
Dr. Morris's idea to not have Justin in court was Genius it feeds into Michael's fantasy but also keeps him acting up in front of the jury and press.
I am so looking forward to Lindsay taking the stand I also wonder if she struck Brian too?
Should definitely question Deb about all the times she struck Brian especially when he didn't do what she wanted or tried to pull away from her control??
Wow Top Notch Chapter!!! :)
