Message: <blockquote data-quote="LMLDallas78" data-source="post: 388758" data-attributes="member: 55682">I have wondered where JR got his abusive behaviour from. Jock told JR that "if anyone said anything bad about Miss Ellie, I'd have killed them" (paternity suit) All JR replied was "Oh Daddy". But then Sue Ellen was guilty here of her affair with Cliff Barnes.Jock's attitude towards women wasn't always great but he did love Miss Ellie and she knew Jock loved her. We don't know of JR's behaviour before he married Sue Ellen, but then she was a trophy wife. Maybe JR should've chosen a wife more like his own Mother in order to treat a wife of his better.He was right. He called Clayton a jilted suitor, in love with his wife and courting his Mother.I always felt as though Miss Ellie should have felt second best. When Clayton was honest about Sue Ellen and how he felt, Miss Ellie just accepted it and it was soon forgotten about.</blockquote>
