admittedly i haven't retained all that much when it comes to the other siblings, but if any of them don't actually buy into mommie dearest's bullshit, it must really suck to see all this happen to your brother. siblings can suck, but for the most part, you still love them even if you don't like them. you don't want to see them suffer. you want to see them happy, even if it's from a distance because they get on your nerves.
i can't imagine watching all of this unfold, being a witness to your own mother slowly ruin your brother's life and body for attention. being forced to participate or else you'll be responsible for his suicide. you don't even get to mourn the loss of your brother's potential, instead you have to pretend to celebrate this new life/identity he's stuck with. if they don't feel that way now, they will.
whenever i hear about parents who've lost their children, they always lament the fact that they'll never see them get married, have kids, have a career, meet their full potential, etc. jeanette robbed jazz of all of that with a smile on her face. absolutely vile. and she's ugly.
