[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 121621, member: 57984"] DALLAS did use their crazy sister-in-law dynamic repeatedly, it's true. JR went to a shrink in the later seasons, and the show let us know he was essentially beyond hope. Digger wound up in detox more than once. But few of the men ever wound up incapacitated to the point of being incarcerated against their will like poor Uncle Jonas whom we never saw. But neither JR nor Sue Ellen were capable of a healthy relationship: Sue Ellen "loved" JR, and JR probably assumed he didn't deserve that love, so he punished her and rejected her for it. (A lot of people have that problem). But if JR had treated her better, Sue Ellen would have lost interest in him as she did her various suitors who'd actually been nice to her. It's the old Groucho joke about not wanting to belong to any party that would have you as a member. And it's very common.
