The Walls
After watching Dick and Daniele last night, I was drained. I felt bad for Dick. I felt bad for Daniele. The one thing I was glad about was that there was some kind of real talking going on between them. Actually, Dick was doing most of the talking while Daniele just sat there covering her face. I really hope she was at least listening to him. But I kinda doubt it.
Dick wasn't and isn't the perfect father. He's said it and she's said it. But there isn't a perfect person on this planet. We all have our faults. As somebody who is estranged from her father going on ten years now (his decision and not mine), I really feel for Dick more than Daniele. I feel that he's tried to reach out to her and she continues to put up a wall. He said last night he's tried reaching out to her multiple times (she didn't deny it) so last night definitely wasn't the first occasion.
Most all of us have probably been hurt by somebody in the past. But at some point, we've had to make the decision to either buck up and move forward or continue to wallow in our self-pity. It's my opinion that Daniele is still wallowing.
I'm interested to see how all of you feel about what's been going on between Dick and Daniele - especially after last night's events.

I think that Dick is full of crap. He was telling Daniele that they can "run this house.
No one in here has a bond like us." Whatever.
He was telling Jen later in the evening that
she needs to go. If Jen put her on the block that she would be doing what she had to do. How fake. I don't recall him mentioning this to Daniele at any point. The only reason that he is in the house is because of her. He's lucky that he evens gets this time with her, and he's still screwing it up. I don't think that he'll ever change. That's very sad.

You all remember that daniele is only twenty and that her dad dumped her at his parents house because he couldn't handle being a father. Since their argument is over something to do with money, i wonder how much he gave his parents to support her, and if he loaned her money a few years back and she did not pay him back, well just maybe he should let it go.

They are too painful to watch. I do feel sorry for ED...I think that wahtever it is they need to resolve might not happen under these cirsumstances. I hope so, but I think not. Her body language tells it all.

Daniele is trying to be everything that her father is not. He talks and talks and talks and talks. She says nothing. It seems the more he talks, the less she does.
Sure - he "dumped" her at his parents - - but where is MOM in this equation? At least she didn't end up in foster care. At least he didn't put her up for adoption. And I don't know many men who, at 20, would have been "able" single dads. Of course, at 40+, Dick is still struggling with how to be a dad.
No - Dick's not the perfect dad. And Danielle's not the perfect daughter. I think that, at some point, Daniele might regret pushing him away. But - she is only 20. And, like her Dad did when he was 20, she is "abandoning" him. History repeats itself. Cats-in-the-cradle stuff.
