The story was kind of alright, but the two fathers really stuck in my craw, so to speak. Her father was a weak sap who couldn't be around her because she looked like her mother, his late beloved wife. So he marries a woman who treats his daughter like crap as well as treating her own son (who Daddy Dearest also pays no attention to) the same way. And yet his daughter still loves him and does her best to support him. His father, who was white-washed by everyone, was a psychopathic control freak. He was fine, as long as everyone did exactly what he said. The FL admitted that she was really afraid of him at one point. Everyone seems to know that he was kind to her only because he had the unrequited hots for her mother. Can we say "Sicko?" So everyone enabled him when he was alive, and white-washed him after he died. I'm sorry, but that's not the way I or my family work.
