Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ms Southworth" data-source="post: 92590" data-attributes="member: 312">Hmmm ... what can I say about the scene with Jenna and Charlie? <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />  Honestly, I don’t understand why Charlie found it necessary to mention to her mother that she can’t live in the same house as Ray again. Last time I checked, Charlie was 22 years old!!! Charlie doesn’t need to be living with her mother at this point in her life, which is why it makes no sense that she is butting in regarding her mother’s life. Charlie has just graduated from university and is also in the process of finding an apartment with her boyfriend. Charlie’s life is elsewhere!I have a hard time understanding why Charlie supposedly hasn’t matured enough to comprehend that what Ray did when she was a teenager was an act out of love! Ray was trying to protect her to the best of his ability! Ray wasn’t trying to be mean! It’s understandable that a teenager wouldn’t get the “message” or would even misunderstand it, but it’s my belief that young people from 18 and up are able to reflect upon their teenage years and understand why their parents did what they did! Charlie still seems to have this anger towards Ray! And I must say that for Charlie to blame Ray for her poor grades and also her being bullied in school is a low blow completely uncalled for! Ray could have left it all up to Jenna to discipline Charlie, but they chose to parent together, which is quite admirable, IMO!“My life has practically been a mess!” :eck:  Excuse me, Charlie! There comes a time when you have to take responsibility for your own life and stop blaming everyone around you! :bang:  Your mom did the best she could ... when you were a toddler ... a tween ... and a teenager! Stop sounding like a brat, please! What is the point of putting all the guilt on your mom now? Grow up ... and make your own nest elsewhere!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />  Just the thought of you (Charlie) becoming a teacher (and thus also a role model for other people’s children) makes me squirm! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Sorry, but I just needed to get that off my chest! Charlie whining about all of her teenage problems makes me want to slap her! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/psmile/strong/p1008.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":box:" title="Box    :box:" data-shortname=":box:" />  She comes off as being completely ungrateful for everything that her mom and Ray did for her! Would she have made it through college and university if it hadn’t been for them? I think not! Sorry, I could go on for ever and ever, but I’ll stop now!  :shy:</blockquote>
