Ouch!
Poor Abbey… I can see something like that absolutely destroying him, especially coming from his little sister. I remember when Augustus said that and he just sort of fell apart. But Molly does have a point, even if comparing him to their father was over the top. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Abbey should try to ‘be the bigger man’ and not sink to that other guy’s level. I love Abbey for his compassion, and I hope he will be able to embrace that sort of philosophy and not let himself be ruled by his temper.

I gotta go with Molly on this one, the problem could have been solved by telling an adult, but thats just not as entertaining for us now is it? Although its a good thing he has met Daisy and gotten help so that he has a better control of his temper now. Sadly, he is about to die on the inside.

I can see how Molly feels, she doesn’t want to be doted on or treated like she can’t stick up for herself.

I read that article and I agree that girl’s shouldn’t think that abuse is an acceptable form of love, but commonly small children have trouble expressing effection and resort to teasing to express it, or they are teasing
for other reasons.

I once beat up this kid at school and all the adults thought i had a crush on him when I really just found him annoying, and he stole my cookie.
