[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 337881, member: 5055"] While I agree it's easy to see how he became such a ruthless, cutthroat businessman, it's less clear why he had so much disdain for his own family and the people closest to him. It's not that I don't understand JR's behavior. Of course I do. It's that I don't understand his personal relationships. For instance,if we accept that is MAIN focus in life was to please his father, why the reluctance to have a child with Sue Ellen. We are led to believe he had no desire for her sexually in the early seasons, but she was a perfect society wife and Jock would have been happy and pleased if JR had produced an heir for him. The easiest way in the world for him to be Jock's favorite would have been for him just to bite the bullet and knock Sue Ellen up. So why didn't he? Also, the mortgaging of Southfork. It's like he didn't even consider what would happen in his plan fell through and his parents found out. He knew how furious Jock would be, but he did it anyway. Yes. We know Jock and Ellie screwed him up. Nut I honestly think there was a personality disorder at play as well [/QUOTE]
