This post just broke me, the "pontificating" right at the end was just perfect! I know it's not really funny but sometimes you have to search for the humour else we'll go mad(der, in my case).
I know I'm still harping on about it but it really grates that he's trying to paint Charles as some monster. HE'S breaking the cycle? I think his father already did that. He chose not to send his boys to Gordonstoun, and I would imagine that PP might've been disappointed about that but Charles wanted to do the best for his children. He forgets that largely he's grown up in the public eye and we've all seen plenty of interaction between them. Yes, we don't know what happens behind closed doors but you can bet that if Charles was some abusive monster, he'd have already milked it for all its worth.
I am genuinely sorry if he suffers from poor mental health, as so do many others. I've had to fight with Dr today to get new meds! But if that is the case he needs to work on HIMSELF rather than throwing blame around to all and sundry. No doubt some of my problems are due to childhood trauma but I'm responsible for who I am NOW and harping back to the past won't change what happened. I don't know who said it but I'm echoing that nothing's ever their fault. Unless they change that mindset, they will not be able to move forward.
Sorry for rambling on! Having a wine day after Dr battle. Harry has just really got under my skin with his comments about his family. We all saw how broken Charles was at PP's funeral but here comes vicious little Harry with nasty insinuations.
I love the Good Place but in real life, he and Kristen Shepherd are really quite insufferable. They never shut up about their marriage.
