So i have contemplating on writing this and i saw a post that says mike is not much of a bad father but in my own opinion Mike is just as worst as teddy and Keith are. He was such a horrible father but he was good too I believe he loves lizzie in his own fucked up way but overall he is just as bad. I know how hard having a child with mental health problem is but that doesn't excuse him for the abuse he put lizzie through her daddy issue comes from the fact that he always put caoimhe first and the amount verbal abuse he has put her through is insane. He always fight with Catherine over lizzie saying horrible thing while she is in the house and can still hear him and he manipulated lizzie to go through electroshock theraph ig?? I am not sure though but we can also see that he doesn't want to see better option for lizzie for her to get better he just wants to put her in a mental hospital and be done with her forever. I hope the reason he divorced Catherine is because her asked her to choose between her and him and she finally chose her daughter. I feel bad for Catherine though😭😭

So the fact yall people are writing paragraph in my comment is good keep it up yall😭 so anyways I saw some of yall say that she has the right to build resentment toward lizzie is really questionable cause if this is the case I hope your bestfriend never date your brothers I mean uhmmm what is wrong with you people so u think it is okay for your bestfriend to build resentment t😭oward you just because her brother is your boyfriend and you are closer idk your mentality but that is...... and another thing is yeah they have been horrible to eachother but I think claire is worse I know she was 11 when hughie and lizzie started dating but she wasn't 11 when they broke up and from the book I have seen claire bring up katie and hughie infront of lizzie multiple times cause even if she never understood why they broke up she could atleast keep her opinion to herself and some of you mentioned that tye characters doesn't know what we know some from lizzie's perspective it looks like her bestfriend chose her sister's killer because all lizzie and know and manipulated into believing is the fact that gibs killed her sister even though it is not true that is what she knows and If any of you was in her place you would distance yourself from her and just like some of you agree that claire doesn't have the same narrative as us lizzie also doesn't and lizzie really tried to put claire first we can see in r10 that lizzie doesn't show much affection toward hughie and missed out on alot of things because claire would be mad when they are together but I didn't see the same grace toward lizzie and yeah sometimes I hope claire could have tried to understand lizzie the same way she did for gibsie but she didn't. And the thing that me and is the fact she called caoimhe a fucking accomplice,and telling her she doesnt know anything as if she does is pretty much disgusting and she literally told gibsie secret just to win an argument woahhh such a classic shit girlie had one letter and thought she knew the whole truth and i wanna see some of you try and defend this claire is a good person and but not a good friend😭
