Desperation

See, Ridge is simply not stern enough with Steffy. Yes, he did try to defend his wife and his marriage, but it is never enough to make Steffy shut her trap. I realize that she is Ridge’s special little Princess and all, and that he feels obligated to humor her, but the whole entitlement thing is not a good look.

Poor Steffy, one could almost feel sorry for her, except…..NOT. She tries so hard to make Ridge remember his life the way she needs him too; desperately trying to make Brooke the horrible wanton, and her mother the paragon of virtue. But it’s ok, Ridge knows his history, and while Steffy may be in the dark about some things, there are plenty she is choosing to rewrite, and others she is choosing to flat out ignore. She probably doesn’t know how her dad walked out on Brooke and their family when her mother returned from the dead the first time. How him choosing Thomas over the life and family he had built with Brooke left Bridget and Rick broken, and Brooke devasted. So, I am willing to give the confused soul a pass on that one. But she sure as heck knows how it went down when her mother came back from the dead round two. With Ridge once again choosing to leave Brooke and their family. Of course, there was some manipulation from Stephanie to spur that action along, but none the less, Ridge chose to leave Brooke. And even after finding out what his mother had done, he chose to stay married to Taylor. So, no passes on that one sweetheart. I would suspect she also doesn’t know why her dad finally made the decision to leave Taylor. I mean, that would illuminate how her mom is a betraying, lying, manipulator, and we certainly can’t have that. I wonder if little confused Steffy would find it funny that her dad wasn’t all that upset that Taylor had stepped out on their marriage? Being far more concerned with seeing Taylor for what she really is; a raging hypocrite, who made it her life’s work to try and destroy any happiness Brooke ever had. No, I don’t think the precious Princess would much appreciate that her dad had called her mom out for her terrible and unforgivable treatment of Brooke, when she was actually the one who had been heauxing around.

Oh, and before I forget, Steffy hon, there is street corner out there waiting for you. Taaaaacky. Just saying.

And then we have Thomas; just as confused and desperate as his sister, but as the oldest Tot, he certainly remembers more. What does it say about a person who would suggest to their father that they leave their wife, and come live at his granddad’s house? I guess the burning question would be has this idea been run by the man of the house? Maybe I missed when Eric gave Thomas carte blanche on inviting people to live in his house, but then again, Thomas has anointed himself the Family gatekeeper, declaring who is and who isn’t allowed in. So, it would fall into place that he thinks he oversees Eric’s home as well. All the same, I think Thomas’s obsessive need to have his daddy living with him says plenty about his mental state. He isn’t a child, or a tween, he is grown up, who for whatever reason can’t be alone. And this is the guy whose parents pronounce as all better, and just about the best, most loving dad in the whole wide world! Yet, it does appear that Douglas hasn’t really been with his dad all that much. Sure, he is at Eric’s, and his dad is around and all, but what are they actually doing together? Why couldn’t Thomas be part of Douglas’s outing with Steffy and Amelia? Oh, that’s right, he needed to take a dip in Eric’s pool.

It is like the cardinal rule of writing; Show, don’t tell.

The writeing for all the women makes them doormats…doesn’t matter how it plays out six months they will drag it out again..
