Jim, do you despise your father for that request of his? Do you feel pressured into maintaining a family that sometimes knowing you just can't control? For example, when Evie contacted you again and brought you back into her life, you tried to fix everything, yet discovered quickly that PTSD just doesn't work that way. Now if your dad had PTSD, and more importantly, Eric had PTSD for all intensive purposes (which I belive he did from what I know of his health and behaviour), then how does this impact you? How much stress do you believe you burden as a result? Young age to be told to take charge of your family mate!
What do you really feel about Eric though Jim? Do you love him, even though what he has done, yet don't want others to judge you for loving him as a brother, even though he has shot and killed others? Do you outright despise him? |
