So it’s good parenting for your daughter to find you passed out on drugs on your bathroom floor several times or find you so out of it that she has to try to keep you from falling? It’s good parenting to continue to use drugs when you now have a child? The fact that he allowed himself to die from these drugs is something really terrible and it of course put a cloud over Lisa for the rest of her life.billy jack wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2024 11:22 pmeligain wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2024 10:11 pm
One thing that gets lost in all of this is the fact that Elvis was actually not a good parent and ultimately caused a lot if not most of Lisa’s pain. No one is doubting that he didn’t deeply love her but letting a child run wild with no discipline is one of the worst things a parent can do. And her ultimate pain was him dying. He put the drugs ahead of his daughter and never tried to become sober for her sake. Why does Elvis never get criticized for that?
You're joking, I hope? You're right that Elvis allowed everything when it came to Lisa. But that's nothing compared to that witch of Priscilla.
If you, as a mother, continue the relationship with the man who groped your daughter on certain parts of her body, jerked off to that same 10+ year old child and literally got horny from it.
(I apologize for my language use, but we are adults here after all, so let's come clean.)
As far as being lenient and not giving Lisa any structure or discipline. All my friends that had lenient parents, that let them run wild, all wound up a mess. As did my friends whose parents were overly strict. Priscilla sounds like she was the latter and when you have parents with that different of approaches, that is a recipe for disaster.
Again, I haven’t read it yet but did Lisa tell Priscilla about Edwards? If she did and Priscilla kept seeing him, then that isn’t good.
