eeclayton Mrs Gibson was a mere cliché in this story. Grace was more 3D, but I didn't understand her reasoning of staying with the family to be a positive influence on Mr Gibson. Was it an excuse that she had invented for herself? 15h
CogsOfEncouragement I feel like women do take it out on the other woman far too often instead of the man who made vows to them, but I would have liked to see this story flip that and have the straying (to whatever degree) husband framed instead. Have the anger pointed to the truest offender. Those poor kids, no matter what. 13h

dabbe @Cuilin @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement Boy, it truly did stink to be a woman in that era! And why did Maria have to be another “creature from the tropics“ (talking to you, Bertha). Does “tropical“ now mean hot-headed, emotional, and out of control? 12h
dabbe @eeclayton Agree 💯. I thought it was weird that Grace stayed, but then we wouldn't have much of a story if she had left, I guess. 12h
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement I wanted Gibson to get it and get it good! 😂 12h
