I can't believe Michael actually forgot JR. He really is only thinking of himself.

Sanctimonious much, Michael?? The girls aren't entitled to a free pass? WTH! I'm still amazed by that statement since all it seems that he has ever gotten was free passes for being an idiot. But I digress... Oh but WAIT!! Then after his speech about needing to take care of JR and his 'rights' as her father, he forgets his kid? Sounds like she would be better off with Michael MYERS as her father than Michael Novotny, at least the former would remember that his daughter existed.. even if it's not in the very best of ways ...SMH Definition of a drop in dad, anyone? Anyone? There is an answer and it's Michael Novotny!

It's nice to see Mel and Lindsay FINALLY listening to each other. Perhaps therapy will make a huge impact on how they deal with their issues going forward. Mel is now starting to see that her insecurities and jealousy can NOT be laid at Brian's door. I hope their upward mobility continues. Lindsay was right in that they moved away but still took their unresolved issues with them.

I don't blame Mel one damn bit for not wanting to live near the Novotnys. They really are nosy and interferring beyond measure; act as if it is their right to know everything about everyone's lives whether it has to do with them or NOT. Hopefully they can find an area that's close enough to the Pitts but far away enough for their privacy. It's better for them to have the support system around and not need it rather than be in the position they now find themselves in where they need it and don't have it.

Great Chapter!! On to the next!

Happy Writing and HUGS,

So how does one forget their child? Michael really needs to get a clue and fast. I  truly hope he does not try to sue for custody....he won't win and it would hurt JR  more than he knows.

And yes Lindsay asked the same question I always have....because Lindsay cheated with a man did that makes her indiscretion worse? Melanie never saw her little fling with Maryann as being as hurtful in comparison, but it was. Mel even chose to leave at that time not really taking Gus into consideration all the while she berated Brian who in fact was still around for him. Maybe the journals they are keeping will finally allow them to put things into perspective.

I won't get too much on my soapbox here LOL, keep up the good work.

You'd be surprised. I worked in a grocery store and a kids dad left him. He came back before he left the parking lot. Get on any soup box you want, I think it's great that everybody feels strongly. Thank- you for sticking it out with me.
