Even in death Richard couldn't bare to address his daughters. Despite being the deadbeat, pill-addled abusive piece of shit that he was, he was better off alive for his children than dead. Unbelievably tragic to kill himself given how easily he could turn himself around with a little hard work and determination, but the spite took over. He wasn't even in that bad of a situation, just broke, addicted to drugs and had some ex-wives that hated him - nothing he couldn't pull out of if he really found himself and revisited his connection to the important things in life. I hope Lauren, Jaylen and whatever the third daughter's name was are growing up okay.
