If Bradley wasn't such a jerk I would feel bad for him, but I don't. I have to say I do love Gail. Gail you're so cool. Ivy is equally as cool too.

Great job! :)

Gail is awesome and she has raised an awesome daughter. Brad had nothing to do with it at all. Thank you!

He's really a horrible person, and Ivy traded up like whoa. And Gail kicked his ass. A lot. So. :D Thank you!

Firstly, kudos on the Shakespear reference with the Red Velvet binge ;) And secondly, that last line was so nice and powerful. I love how Ivy stands up to him in true Ivy manner, just casually being awesome and laying the rules down for Brad.
And you feel so bad for Gail. Even monkeys fall from trees, ey? ILU Gail. :P
Really cool piece, especially since it was out of your comfort zone and still very good!

I love Shakespeare, and it seemed apropos. XD And yeah, Gail screwed up, but she got a fantastic daughter and a great husband out of it, so. :D Thank you!

Wow, this guy's cluelessness is just stunning. It takes talent to fail that much as a human being. Gail and Ivy were definitely better off without him (though I'm surprised he didn't disappear sooner, when it became clear Gail wasn't letting him off the hook re: fatherhood).

Brad fails HARD. He just... never learns. And I think he stayed for Mitchell and his friends, not Ivy and Gail. But he cleared out and left them alone eventually. Thank you!

Reading this actually made me a little bit sad for him, because he just did not get it. I definitely don't feel sympathy for him in any way, shape, or form, since he treated everyone around him like garbage. He made his own bed for sure.

He definitely did. But I agree with you a little; it's almost pathetic the way he ended up. Ah well. So long, Brad! We won't miss you. Thank you!
