i should have phrased my posts to show more that im not sure of how much ralph's mom is to blame, we dont really have enough info one way or the other i just think its a bit silly to try and have it definitively said she did x amount of coddling or abused ralph x much. I also should have phrased it to the Vickers that ralphs mom might not necessarily be blameless or might even be a pos just that we dont really have the same hours of recorded and documented shit on her that we do ralph.Eh, I disagree, Ralph didn't become that way overnight, he has obviously zero respect for her mother and that doesn't just happen, it's the way he was raised.
Like i said, she used to have friends who cared for her and she's probably let her son isolate her from the rest of the world because he doesn't want anyone coming into 'his' house.
Also, I don't think any actual pictures of her have been doxed, and from the recording she doesn't sound like someone who's on the verge of dying. Obviously people need a ride back home from dialysis, but I don't buy the image that she's this walking corpse on the verge of collapse.
I just can't excuse the fact that Ralph is the monster he is, partly because of her and that she is willfully looking away when it comes to Faith. She should grow a spine, while I do not wish her any ill, I do not have sympathy for the situation she is in with Ralph.
However, I do agree that he would never listen, still that doesn't mean she shouldn't try or that she gets off without any blame.
Nora was quite young when they got married, and I believe she was underage when they started talking (?). So it's no surprise that she doesn't even react when his son shacks up with a child.
Anyway, I'll stop going off on a tangent about his mom, I just can't understand how a parent could just pretend everything is fine with all the shit they are in.
if that makes sense. idk to me itd be like actually going at ralph for suspected abuse of his brother when all we know is hes inclined to do that and his brother is apparently special needs instead of the more concrete pressing things
