I want to preface this with what Liam said when he and Hope broke up. He tried to fight for Steffy but she denied him every single time. Did he kiss her? Yes but she put a stop to it. She didn’t leave him any opening and because of that he turned back to Hope.

Side note, the only reason Hope is with Liam now is because Steffy did what she thought was right and told Hope about Liam dying. If Hope didn’t know anything, I doubt she/he would have fallen back into old habits.

Liam loves Steffy more than Hope and I don’t see Liam staying away from Steffy while she is single. He wants Steffy and even Hope knows it.

I guess my point is that Liam wanted to fight for Steffy but she stopped him. Now that she feels completely betrayed by Finn, (with good reason)I don’t see her fighting Liam off like she has in the past.

This is probably going to be longer than I thought. I lost my father last August. After that I lost my oldest friend who was also best friends with my father. My aunt and my most precious baby boy cat Tiger.

To give context, my family friend was our next door neighbor. We were so close that our families built a gate between our backyards. When my parents had dinner plans I would go over there to eat dinner. We went on motorcycle trips and even though he was much older he inspired me to run for political office. Which I did and now I’m a Selectwoman in my town. He passed away about two months after my father.

My dad’s birthday was today July 24th and his was August 24th. So I feel like I’m grieving them both.

On top of that I know longer have a relationship with my mom’s sister/aunt. She turned the whole family against me because she didn’t understand my grief. My mom was scheduled for major surgery a month after he passed. Because I live on the other side of the country me, my mom and dad agreed that it was important that we keep our plans so my husband and I could take care of her. Plus he didn’t want me to see him like that. That wasn’t good enough and she expected me to be there immediately. Even though my mom told her why I didn’t come she felt the need to turn her children against me. I didn’t hear from anyone from that side of the family. It was heartbreaking to know that I didn’t even deserve basic dignity.

On top of that I also lost my baby boy cat who I rescued as an infant for 13 years just a few months after losing my father, my oldest friend, my aunt (by my choice) and my baby boy. Side note we don’t have kids although we tried.

I guess the reason I’m reaching out is because I don’t know how to get through today after so much loss. Any suggestions?

I’m genuinely curious because the response I’m getting from this community is Hope can do no wrong. Why?

Personally I actually think Steffy is the best wife. She fights for her family better than anyone on the show. She gives so much as a wife. When she was married to Liam, she bent over backwards to help him succeed and even tried to fix the relationship between father and son. Now I know that I’m going to get push back for this but I’m taking in the total of her behavior and actions vs., one mistake. I will also say that if Liam hadn’t kissed Sally, Bill and Steffy never would have happened but it did and that is the only true mark on Steffys record as a wife.

She also said enough was enough and put an end to her, Liam and Hope. Hope could never do that without another man being in love with her. Look at how she chewed up Carter and spit him out. She did the same thing to Wyatt. She loved that two brothers were fighting over her and she encouraged it. Steffy hated it.

Everyone wants to compare Steffy to Brooke but Hope is exactly like her mother just on a different side of the coin. I know this sub loves Hope but she is just like her mother. When things don’t go her way she throws a tantrum and Brooke is always there to encourage it. Hope saying that Brooke never defends her is nepotism run amok. Brooke has done nothing but defend Hope even when her actions are indefensible. She is the only reason Hope has Beth and Liam. She sacrificed her relationship with Ridge several times defending Hope. I’m not one to give Brooke a pass but in this situation Hope is acting entitled and selfish. She lied to her own mother while living on her property for half a decade. Hope is just as selfish as Brooke however Brooke is not the only casualty in this latest betrayal. It is a betrayal to everyone that made Hope a name. It sure wasn’t any talent she accomplished. She was working with one fashion house while employed with the competition. She is a liar, a fraud and she never deserved her own line. She had great success with Forrester even when Steffy was in charge. This whole I’m a victim mentality is a consequence of being raised by a narcissist Brooke.
