As a Brooke fan I always support her but have been the first to say I have NOT condoned all she has done in her life. But saying that she has never killed or almost killed anyone. Yes she has "been around" but so have Taylor and Steffy.
I'm just sick of the hypocrisy of it all.
Tridge fans can have their vanilla boring family. The ratings will tank even more because of it. At least KKL can't be blamed for this garbage.

For me Ridge is coming across like a spousal abuser. This is how this last year of Brooke bashing by Taylor, the Brats, and Ridge has felt to me, and it is not comparable to real life abuse, and I am not saying it is, only that it makes me feel this way. Like I am watching a woman get beat up by her husband, and I have a front row seat to it, and I can do nothing to stop it. That she is getting abused in front of me, and keeps trying to make him not be mad, or fix things so he will love her or not hit her or turn on her anymore, to no avail, and he just keeps abusing her and debasing her. And to top it off, his awful family thinks the abuser is the greatest guy and they start beating the wife too. I remember seeing the movie The Burning Bed, and feeling the exact same way watching it. Sickened, sad, and angry over the inequity, the abuse, the mind games and all the betrayal. This SL is written in a fashion that Ridge is coming across like a typical wife abuser. Not the beating part, but the humiliating her purposefully by moving out and over to his ex-wife. Then when he finds out the wife did not really cheat, he makes this grand concession to move out of the ex-wife's place and into his dad's. But is still punishing his wife, for something she did not do. Then he is disrespecting her behind her back, controlling her by telling her who and who not can be in their home, if she wants to keep him. He is making out with another woman, he is allowing his family to trash his wife and laughing about it. He then tells the wife he wants to come home, when he notices she is not really trying to get him home anymore, so he has to reel her back in, then he moves home but is not acting as a husband. Holding her at bay, while he gets his kicks with another woman. And, he never spends time with his wife, but expects her to sit at home alone waiting for him to come home and change his clothes.

Anyway, Ridge is an abusive husband. I have no idea why I want Brooke to win, but I do. I don't want her with Ridge anymore, he is a mean old man. But, I want her to dump him and tell him to go to hell, and go be with his side piece. I want Brooke to basically kick him in the rear and tell him to never speak to her again.

Applause! Applause! Applause! Preach it.
I remember watching The Burning Bed years ago. Very painful movie to watch. Wasn’t it Farrah Fawcett who played the battered wife?
On this board it is talked about how Ridge has been worn down by the constant hammering by his obnoxious ex wife and his psycho adult toddlers over the last few months and I have to be honest and say I really don’t give two hoots and a holler because he’s just reaping what he’s sown.
For years and years Ridge has emotionally abused Brooke and allowed his mother, his ex wife, his psycho brats and his family and anyone else to abuse Brooke and the only time he would promise to protect her from his mother, his family etc was when he was trying to get her back. Then when he got her back they would continue to abuse her and he did nothing to stop it even joining in on occasion. He allowed them to publicly humiliate her and shame her and most of the time the only words out of his bloody mouth were Oh Mother etc .
The old adage is sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me. To put it bluntly I say BS!!!!!! It may not be quite as bad as physical abuse but believe me bones heal, bruises fade, wounds heal , scars fade, but words and names and put downs stick with you forever. It’s the emotional abuse that lasts forever. You always have those voices in your head repeating what you’ve been brainwashed over the years to believe. Brooke has been verbally abused for years to the point that she has believed everything she was accused of being even when it wasn’t true. She had Stephanie verbally and physically abusing her, she had Taylor looking down her hypocritical nose and verbally abusing her, psychoanalysing her, she had Ridge verbally and emotionally abusing her. And not one person ever came to her defence. Even now she’s still being verbally abused and her emotionally abusive loathsome toad of a husband is doing nothing to stop it. He allows his Faux Forrester UNHOLY TRINITY to constantly put her down, lie about her, make up stories, etc Makes half hearted attempts to stop it but then you see him laughing and smiling at his brats and draping all over his ex wife who are all his wife’s abusers because he is her main abuser. He could shut them down if he wanted to but he doesn’t. Why not. Because he has always had this attitude that Brooke should be kissing the ground he walks on because he deigned to choose her but he’s too good for her.
He cuts her off from those that support her especially the men because he’s threatened by them. That’s what an abuser does. They isolate the person they are abusing. Take away their support system so they have nowhere to turn.
When he was with someone else he emotionally abused her. He chose someone else in spite of what the circumstances were and would not allow Brooke to move on with her life and find a real man to love and adore her like she deserved because he saw her as his possession. He wanted to have his cake and eat it. I remember when Ridge was married to the Quack Brooke was begging Ridge to let her go. He interfered in every relationship she ever had. He would not let her move on and be happy.
Ridge punishes Brooke for things he’s done and far worse. Even when he finds out she was innocent he still punishes her and Brooke is forever apoligising to him for his sins. He’s a mean, weak, gutless, nasty, hypocritical, cheating, arrogant, ABUSIVE, fragile egoed, horse’s ass (and my apologies to horses). That kind of abuse wears a person down. Brooke is a shadow of her former self. Brooke was feisty, she was strong, she bounced back when she was knocked down, she was beaten down but rose from the ashes, she fought back but this pale shadow is nothing like Brooke.
Brooke has become the epitome of a STEPFORD wife. Where the hell is my red power suit Brooke who took names and kicked ass. I want her to kick his ass from here to kingdom come and let him have the delusional, giggly, airhead of an ex wife and his seriously disturbed adult toddlers while she moves on the a real man who loves her 110% and old WaffleKing looks on miserably with his “safe” “calm” brain dead BORING delusional Doc for the rest of his miserable life.
