Do you remember when Vickers condemned this entire site because I made a post saying that he should gently leave the door open for her and she'll return on her own? And how if he tried to force her back she'd stay away forever just out of defiance? I do.
I bring this up because when his daughter was impregnated by Ralph, he slinked away, like a beaten dog, like the impotent and broken man he is. He gave up, gave her an emergency phone, and told her: when you want to come home, call us, and you can come home. Now she's back home.
He and you would be quick to point out I am not a parent and don't know "unconditional love". I would point out: I'm also not a retard, and know enough about how people work to have very explicitly and correctly explained to this man what he could do to help himself and his daughter months ago. For that act of astute kindness and benevolent charity, he shunned this entire fucking community, only to end up taking my advice (unwittingly, like everything else he does) months later when the damage had been done.
Vickers and Ralph are the same person, but at least with Ralph I still remember some good times with him. With Vickers I have only these brutal exposures to abject stupidity blended with unearned smugness that is somehow bottled in a person totally craven and pathetic. The only good thing to say about Vickers is he's not a cheater and has managed to hold together a relationship, which for the sake of a benefit of a doubt, I will assume is mostly functional. Every other thing about him is the same shit, different asshole.
