continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

I think we should bear in mind that we only have Andy's word for it that Megan can't/won't clean the house, clean up after the cats, etc. It could be that she normally does contribute, but he's gotten the place into such a state that she can't deal with it alone. Obviously whatever's going on with the cats didn't happen overnight, but the rest...

All I can think of is Abbey's story of how hard Diamond worked to make their apartment look nice for the NZ actors who had to stay there when Tent Moot fell apart, only for Andy to trash one of the bedrooms and blame it on Bob. He even pissed on the mattress so as to make it completely unusable. I wouldn't put much past him.

That is very true. We only have his word for what's actually going on. You know... a disturbing thought comes to mind.

My ex-husband used to take the cats from me and put them into the shelter when he was mad at me. I lost three cats that way. Then the cycle would start all over again. He'd get me a new cat and everything would be happy and then he would suddenly get mad at me over something ridiculous and I'd come home from work and the cat would be gone.

What if Andy is trying to undermine Meg by getting the cats removed? What an awful thing to do to someone you claim to care about.

I think when they first got the cats many people expressed concern that Andy would be able to use the cats to manipulate and/or control Meg because of her attachment to them. I doubt Andy would go as far as your ex-husband did and actually get rid of them (I think that would be something so blatantly cruel that it runs the risk of breaking Andy's hold over Meg rather than enforcing it.) but threatening to get rid of them to get Meg to do whatever he requires of her? Can totally see that.

I'm sorry you lost so many of your kitties because of your ex's cruelty, that must have been heart-breaking.

We only have Andy's word and is he not a kind of hyperbole? I believe their living space is probably trashed based on the testimony of people who used to live with him but the whole 'Meg can't do ANYTHING, it's all on ME' feels like classic Andy trying to get sympathy while also throwing someone else under the bus.
