56. Robbi is collecting even more evidence of Nancy's crassly unequal treatment of her daughters and it shows once more her money-grabbing personality. Her plan to force Lynette into taking care of her in her old age has a very distinctive and clear to see monetary reason: Lindsay's net worth is exactly nil! If Nancy doesn't find a wealthy simpleton to marry her of to, there is no chance in hell for her ever having enough money to support her own spending habit, let alone her mother's. Nancy might like Lindsay more but she knows how unreliable and unself-sufficient her favorite is - especially in financial terms. Lynette on the other hand is very well of, she has inherited the estate and fortune of her late husband and she also works for additional money too. Nancy has stated she would divorce Ron and there stands to reason that there will be no or only a very small settlement. So in Nancy devious mind she will have Lynette – Ron's 'favorite' daughter – step into his role of provider because every financial contribution her then ex-husband will gif her will subsequently benefit Nancy as well. But this plan would only pan out if Lynette has no one in her life. So Nancy will do her absolute worst to sabotage every relationship with a man – Frederick or any other – and of course every possible child in order to keep Lynette lonely and therefor focused on her mother. Anyway, in my opinion Lynette's 'duty as Nancy's daughter' is just as non-existent as Claire's to Mrs Kinney. There will be snow in hell bevor Lynette will finance Nancy's keep and the restraining orders are the first step to exactly that. I'm really want to see the reaction of when the other restraining orders will be served – it will be very satisfying because those will make settling in Pittsburgh so much harder seeing that the new Kinney-Clan is spread out over the City...
Michael 'staggering and misplaced arrogance' is appalling. What does he think an attorney is doing all day long? Does he seriously think he is he only focus of her? She is court appointed attorney, so he doesn't even pay her for her services how can he direct such foolish demands at her and belief she would abide to them? He doesn't do himself a favor with his histrionics and it seems like his attorney has an very distinct inkling that he is faking his 'illness' … and she seems not all too fond of her client as well.
Emmett and Drew are progressing… and fast! That’s really good; Em deserves a Partner of his own. And in my head those two fit perfectly.
Cynthia disposing of the cloudless admirer is also great and well deserved. I just hope he never shows up again to cause more trouble for Brian.
Well, I think, I'm caught up with everything ... and in that regard: I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

55. Hm, I don't know if I should like Debs attorney or not. On one side she seems like a no bullshit-woman, but what she implied toward Vic is not going to go down well. And of course we know from whom he got the money to pay Debbie back... from Brian.
So the other fact that we got out of these flashback is that Michael as Teenager already was an ignorant and unpleasant Person. Self-centered, with not the slightest regard for the privacy of others, always seeking his advantage...
How could he not know where Deb has her first aid kit? And obviously this was the first and probably the only time that Michael has taken care of Brian injuries. Does he really think, if he has done it one time he can weave a munchausen syndrome out of this now?
And what should I make of this surprise trip to Florida? What was the reason the Kinneys took their Children out of town? Did Joan think Deb would call Child service regardless of her paying her because in that instant she was the one who abused Brian? And I think this is where the last 5000$ were spend...
Joan Kinney at her best... every attorney who is saddled with her has my sympathy. But I don't understand why Arthur gets a recording of this. I thought attorney/client-confidence would prevent such exchange – but well, I'm no attorney myself and customs may be different to those in Germany. In any way it will only help Brian's case...
Kinnetic staff benefitting from Justin's sulk is a nice touch – the dense admirer not so much. He has no concept of the dangers he is about to stir up. But on the other hand, he is a complication Brian does not need. Such people as this idiot will only cause more unnecessary trouble because they feel slighted and will try to seek unjustified revenge…
See you at the last one…

54. Michael!! Attention seeking, disruptive filth!!! *growl* Well, at least he got that one symptom right even if he mistook the kind of attention he is supposed to seek as a patient with Munchausen. Allegedly attempted suicides are not part of the picture! It is something of a relieve that nobody seems to buy his woe-attempt… not even his mother.
Yeah! Emmett is getting his Quarterback! Great and about time!
And our favorite couple has fun, even if there are some stiff consequences (*giggle*) and is making plans… looking forward to what Justin is coming up with…
And going forward to 55…

53. Gus is such a great little dude! Pointy bits! Hilarious … and yeah those pointy bits profit from vegetables too! And out of the mouth of babes: his names for the mean animals are pointedly fitting. I have an inkling that this wee man knows exactly who was Justin's inspiration as he drew them – never underestimate the understanding and observation skills of a child! Monumental mistake!
Oh hey, what's this?? What was Robbi talking about as she said 'she could, just one more time, manage to screw a Kinney'? Was she talking about Lindsay's extortions from Brian or was this meant in a sexual way? And what Kinney would she mean? Why do I have the idea in my head that Robbi didn't talk about Lindsay and Brian at all? My first thought as I read this was: Woah! Nancy and Jack! But I don't know why…
Michael is indescribable! How can a human being stalk thru its life and not even once attempt to take its destiny in the own hands? How can it be that there is not the slightest semblance of ambition to achieve something of his own account? At least something legal? – because criminal ambitions are certainly there. How can he not be bored out of his mind, if he does absolutely nothing for himself in his life? Michael's life passes him by, and he doesn't even attempt to achieve anything of which he could say: look! I made it! He will not leave a legacy for his daughter - no loving memories or treasured items or a sense of proud of her father's achievements - and it doesn't bother him at all...
As I stated bevor: In my opinion there is no question; Michael has a waste array of mental illnesses. But now he will seek a carte blanche because of a mental illness he didn't have?! And of that fact I'm sure! A symptom of Munchhausen by proxy is that someone causes harm to another person so they could take care of the hurt party and therefor receive praise and recognition for their dedication. So yeah, Michael caused Brian harm but he never took care of him – that part he has left to his mother.
Lindsay is served her first restraining order… well deserved and surly not the final strike of the Kinney-Clan…
See you shortly at 54…
Date: Jun 27, 2018 9:56 am Title: Uncovering the Truth and Be Careful What You Ask For
Hello to you busy bees,
... the Southern French winds didn't blow me away, so I'm back! Now I will be catching up on the chapters and their reviews... I will split them again…
52. Hehe, Brian certainly gets a surprise as everyone tells him how Mrs Kinney's attempts to join a new parish were thwarted. And Mami for sure is a resourceful woman. Introducing the priest to his husband (even if this sadly can only be an unofficial title, because catholic priests as it's well known aren't allowed to marry – not even a women, let alone a man) clearly brings her in a very influential position. And oh how free and casual she is in all things sexual… very open-minded for a woman of her age. She even puts Brian to shame in this regard.
Lynette and Frederick will be a good match. He seems like a nice guy with principles and no gold-digging aspirations.
Lindsay and Nancy are pushing each other to new heights in lowliness. It looks like they want to outdo each other in their malicious ways. Nancy being annoyed that she can't get Frederick fired because he was faster and swapped jobs with Daph (and I'm so looking forward to the first time Daph will have to chauffer the hyenas… it will be epic!) only shows her general misconduct and malevolence regards every other human being. And Lindsay deliberately shakes the last traces of common decency she might possess. Misplaced sense of responsibility? Really??
Deb and Michael… well, Miss Grassi has finally grasped the true nature of her son, but I'm not sure what will come of this because there were other points in the story when it made the appearance as if she would turn things around and two seconds later she dropped right back into the mess… Michael on the other hand is as pathetic as ever, if not more so! The mere thought of ever being in Brian's vicinity again – he definitely has no concept of reality anymore. But at least he finally read one of his court papers…
The scene at Joan's house was a true bonbon… topping of the chapter.
And onto chapter 53…

So Nancy like orgies to huh?
Maybe they have ones for old bats who's vaginas have dried up and formed cobwebs somewhere near their new residents? rofl
And Lindsay should get use to hearing her holes are so loose that they make the Holland Tunnel low tiny in comparison.
So Nancy and Lindsay are coming back to Pittsburgh but with that ten mile restraining order where can they stay? And how will they pay for it?
Ron should really think about hiring a interior decorator to change the atmosphere to make it more His Home.
Robbie is smart to record their phone conversations, Nancy resents Lynette because Lynette makes her look bad.
Lynette is everything Lindsay will never be and like Deb feels towards Brian, Nancy can't stand that Lynette shows up the one who most resembles her, plus Lynette doesn't rest on her money or clout she gets up every morning to show that she is 100xs better than Lindsay, because she earns the accolades and Lindsay and Nancy demand them.
Michael was so stupid by refusing the session because it would be recorded he is not helping his case of Munchausen Syndrome.
Oh this trial is going to be very interesting.
Brian and Justin getting away is good they will need it once the circus starts.

I'm curious about the trip to Florida: did they actually go there or did they just hide somewhere? I'm surprised they would have the money for that.

Hey there,
They actually went - there will be more on this in the trial - Joan had taken more money than she gave to Debs.
Happy reading

Love Brian and his Tigger. Wanted the nutjob to get fired. Now just how much trouble can you get Joanie in and is Deb going to manage to stay free?
[Report This]Date: Jun 18, 2018 12:06 am Title: The DQ, The Joan Miasma and The Newbie Idiot
Joan went to her attorney meeting drunk lying and condemning her children for why she stole money from the church and Deb is lying and passing the buck as usual.
I can see why Joan and Deb dislike each other because they are exactly alike.
Yeah she took that money to help Vic with his medication but it doesn't excuse her using Brian for years to excuse Michael's behavior or her lack of empathy for an abused child.
It also shows that despite agreeing with Vic that Brian and Michael are ill-fated for one another, she was still prepared to push for Michael's stupid fantasy to come true and bully Brian to make it happen.
Michael really did learn his deceitful ways from his mother's knee and it now it may bite Deb in her ample Ass!!
No one is going to buy Michael's act but watching him try to pull it off in court should be pathetic and amusing, just like Deb not being loud and overbearing or Joan not being pious and drunk.
So Mr. Idiot would be smart to avoid Brian and Justin while also keeping his mouth shut and his opinions to himself.
I bet Justin has a rusty spoon on stand by <giggles>

The last sentence is so Brian! Only him could think of that and say it, except Debbie of course.
The scene with Lindsay, her mother and Frederik was hilarious. If they knew Lynette's reaction to him, they would be out of their minds.
Debbie and Michael are borderline a big explosion

So good to read about Joan kicked out of her church!

Hiya,
It sure feels good to see Saint Joan cut off from her most precious church.
In one fell swoop she lost her place of support and her shield behind which she could always hide.
Let's see how she's doing fending for herself.
She got what she deserved.

Was he really hoping Brian would come running to hold and comfort him?
What An Idiot!!
He could've killed himself all to make himself look like a weak willed innocent little boy.
Too bad his act isn't very convincing since the hospital would've checked for scars and probably photographed his body <shudders> for evidence of more cutting.
Deb and Michael are so pathetic and such a waste of air.
Brian and Justin were funny the really should stretch before they get strenuous lol
Emmett deserves to be happy and Drew deserves to be swept off his feet and to sweep Emmett off his.
The trials will be starting soon and time away is good they need to be relax for the nastiness that is headed their way.

Looks like Aunt Libette is more clever than Nancy and Lindsay realised and now with the restraining orders Lindsay can't get near Gus to use and Nancy wouldn't care since she never noticed him in the first place.
Good thing Robbie's friend had an extra seat so she could avoid the whining.
Wonder if Robbie would be willing to hire Nancy and Lindsay to work on her ranch? <evil smirk>
Gus is too adorable and Jenny leaving Ben speechless was Beautiful.
Love the some new characters.
Michael is going to use Munchausen Syndrome to get out of trouble?
That should be interesting for the judge, jury and attorneys to hear.
Lindsay can be so Proud now cause she is in the same boat as Michael, Deb and Joan <Applause Applause Applause> Take Your Bow Lindsay, You Earned It ;)
[Report This]Date: Jun 03, 2018 7:32 pm Title: Uncovering the Truth and Be Careful What You Ask For
Deb is still only looking out for herself she hasn't taken responsibility for the part she paid in some of the abuse Brian suffered, she like Michael is still shifting the blame on to someone else.
By testifying she may think it could be her way back onto The Avenue and Brian's life?
Deb is doing a plan B to regain her life back, wonder if Michael is planning to do the same?
Lindsay and Nancy are as clever as a lock of hair Lindsay is always flicking behind her ear, they are going to be so upset when they find out they have restraining orders too lol
Frederick and Lynnette? Alright!!! <giggles> Lynnette will enjoy exploring his hard member for hours, days, weeks, months and years to come rofl
And Daphne will enjoy driving Lynnette around.
Joan is angry at God for forsaking her, I believe God is angry at her for forsaking her privilege as a mother to love and protect her children.
Mami is wicked!! lmao

Date: May 31, 2018 1:35 pm Title: A Real Family Affair and the Book of Revelations is Opened...The Final Bite
Hi Ladies,
Well, there I am… again to slow… and leaving reviews to two chapters:
50: So Lynette is about to turn the table on her mother and Lindsay. The Lady seems to be an unstoppable force all on her own and it is a satisfying prospect that it seems she has the drive and the money to squash the leeches in her family. Ron has chosen his favorite daughter wisely even if I'm sure that he originally hadn't wanted to choose and differentiate.
This whole conversation of the Peterson's shows clear what convoluted views of the world around them and life in general Nancy and Lindsay have. Why do they begrudge the kids their presents? Do they think Lynette should bring the new baby up to be as much of a spoiled brat as Nancy did with her favorite daughter? As a narcissistic, egomaniacal, unable to share and greedy parasite? Well, this would surely be the masterplan if Lindsay would raise the kid herself.
It's still incomprehensible to me how people can be so self-absorbed. There is not the littlest consideration of anything that is not immediately profiteering for either of them may it be money or even the health of supposed loved ones. I'm so hoping that Ron can cut them of the money-supply, so that they will really struggle to support themselves and maybe learn a thing or two.
The Grassi/DeVore's are continuing to delude themselves about the chances they have to step back in Brian's life because these are exactly nil. The idea alone that Brian would waste a single positive thought on Michael is ridicules and even the negative ones will diminish and disappear once the trial is thru.
Robbis confrontation with them was hilarious. Michael seemed to think his headmistress has good memories of him? Well, wrong in so many ways. Didn't he hear that she was there because of her 'favorite' and 'A*' pupil? Both descriptions clearly don’t fit Mr. DeVore at all – but well, we all know that he thinks of himself as of genius-level intelligence… he even said so himself in an earlier chapter…
The icing of the cake was Cynthia appearing on the battle line. Oh how long has this girl waited for her chance to have a go at Michael? And she delivers the cold hard truth beautifully and formfitting. Some extensive restraining orders and every single ugly piece of unwanted and unfitting memorabilia destroyed and discarded at Michael's feet (or his head) - if he still doesn’t grasp that Brian really, absolutely and finally don’t want anything to do with him anymore, there is nothing that will help him anymore.
And yes, Deb will wait an eternity for Michael to 'be a man'; she herself saw to it that this will never happen. Only it seems as if she finally would begin to see what an hopelessly warped creature her son actual is… but that realization is slow going, so very slow.
51: Lynette and Ron finally fulfill the roles they deserve: Aunt and Grandpa. And it looks like they enjoy it. It's so cruel of Lindsay to deny them a relationship with Gus (and Jenny), but it fits in well with her antisocial behavior: after all the children could take the focus of attention away from her. How inappropriate. Nobody should get more attention (as in interpersonal and certainly monetary) than Lindsay, not even her biological son let alone the not-biological daughter whose father is an eternally penniless simpleton.
Well well well, look what reveals itself in the car! To all their assembled faults Nancy and Lindsay have, they are at least borderline racist. The father's heritage is of no consequence because Lindsay won't keep the baby? What utter bullshit! It shouldn't matter at all! I get very cross with people who look at the color of the skin to determine if they accept a human being or not... worse of course if it is also a family member. Ok, so, what will happen when Lynette adopts the kid and it isn't white? Anyway, I think it would be of no consequence because Lindsay and Nancy will never have an relationship with him/her.
Nevertheless I'm hoping that anyone had thought of bugging the car because both Nancy and Lindsay have freely admitted that they were unfaithful. I don’t know if Lindsay will seek spousal support from Mel again but this would go down the drain with a taping of this conversation, as are the claims Nancy would bring up in a divorce from Ron. Evidence of infidelity could strengthen his position significant.
I don’t know how I should summarize the conversation between the four vultures at Debs house. Has anyone gained anything from that? It may be not so wise on Debs part to give Lindsay her new number, but all in all this was a bust in my opinion – or I simply don’t get it…
It only became clear that Michael's mental instability is progressing. He becomes more and more violent and I'm sure Lindsay was lucky that Deb interrupted at the time as she did. He would have attacked her
The highpoint of this chapter clearly was the destruction of Mrs. Joan Kinney's attempts to join a new parish. I'm glad that Claire, Robbi and Vic stood up before the congregation and set things straight for them. There is progress in the catholic church, it may be slow but it happens and Father Shaw shows it. It is significant that Joan is more worried about a possible excommunication than about the ongoing trial against her or the fact that she is becoming increasingly isolated from any other human being. Firm faith is one thing, but to believe that one has the sole interpretive power of the scriptures and their meaning is presumptuousness in the most extreme form.
I'm really sorry for Brian because he certainly hasn't done anything to deserve so many mental ill people in his environment and I hope he can get rid of them for good... and fast.
I am so very impatient for the trail to progress and I can't wait to see them get what they deserve.
And on this note, I'm stopping…
Greetings

Hiya Katharina,
Wow, another long and great review.
Yes I too get bothered by people who discriminate. Not only on the color of the skin but also on gender or sexuality.
