#and if something happens? Helena and Ramon have no legal power over Chris

[lover-of-mine]

Okay, but I'm still thinking about Eddie's parents and the way that once again they looked at Eddie in a fragile state and decided to kick him while he's down instead of offering him a hand to get up. That's your job as a parent. To take care of your kid is your job as a parent. That never stops. You need to take care of your child. But they once again looked at Eddie drowning and said well, tough luck, I'm taking your lifeline. And this time they actually succeeded. That so fucking insane. Like, the parents of the mains in this show are all horrible but I don't think any of them were actively trying to harm them. Helena was actively trying to harm Eddie. For whatever reason that makes absolutely no sense. Eddie is a great father. He's not struggling to give Chris stability while trying to juggle being a single parent and working three jobs. Eddie has been taking amazing care of Chris. Eddie shouldn't be punished for his grief and Chris shouldn't be taught that he's allowed to run from his feelings. What are they doing?????????? It would be one thing to say "oh we can take Chris for the week so you both can calm down and then we can revisit this" but to say I'm taking your child indefinitely??? That's madness???? And the fact that Eddie's parents would do that to him and that Helena would look cheerful at the idea of taking Chris away is so fucked. Grief is complicated and Chris needs to be validated but to tell him it's okay to flee the state. forever if he wants. so he won't deal with his feelings is not it.
