#you know how they say not to overdescribe a monster because people's brains will come up with something way more terrifying

I've always wondered why Jamie's mom wasn't at the game in Mom City?? I know she saw it from home but I wish Jamie could've seen her cheer him on :(

I think she was avoiding James honestly. Like out of concern for her safety. The overwhelming majority of men who abuse their children also abuse their children's mothers :( The vibe I got was that she would've liked to be there to support him, but he understands that she can't and it's not an issue

To be honest I don't think the audience sees even close to the full extent of what Jamie and Georgie went through with James. I think the whole picture would be too heavy for TL, so they just imply that it was worse than we realize. In Beard After Hours (which was a genre-bend episode, so one of the only times we see their world without Lassogoggles) we really get to see how violent and scary James actually is (like. Capable of murder) which clarifies Georgie's avoidance of the whole football scene imo
