Your creepy!Timmy once again creeps me the eff out and makes my skin crawl a little. I think you're doing wonderfully on this. No dreams but....My cat does this thing when he sleeps really deeply and his breathing evens out and then I have to do LiveKittyChecks to make sure he is breathing... I may have done a few extra ones last night much to his annoyance.
I think how you characterized Janet and Jack are perfect for the situation and who they are. From the experiences I've had with one of my relatives (and those directly affected by that situation), many people would rather turn a blind eye to that vibe of off-ness or their relative's known "craziness" and pretend that everything is just a-okay, peaches and cream, than deal with what they know is wrong with the person. Because if we just ignore the problem, it'll go away and it won't be an embarrassment to us! :D
Also. Fish tank. I worry about the fish tank. But I guess kudos to them for noticing it?
I was not but how nice that you got one!

Oh good! I'm glad that rings true for you. I feel like it's a fairly common response to uncomfortable or scary situations. People are very good with the denial thing.
Fish tank~? What fish tank~? *whistles innocently* ...Timmy's parents gave him a credit card so he can buy whatever he wants. Because that's another crappy rich parent tactic I'm familiar with. Problem? Throw money at it! They don't really care what he buys, but it does show up on their bill, so they notice. That scene was kind of a recent addition... it occurred to me as funny. Casual attempt to start a conversation with their son? EPIC FAIL.
Damn, I'm two for two! ...I have other suspicions but I think at this point I should stop guessing and let it be a happy mystery. ^_^;; I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day anyway, darling! <3 <3

It does and people are indeed very good at denial.
I think it showed how they parent and interact with their son quite well. It was an epic fail for them. XD And I got the sense that they certainly think Tim is as creepy as the rest of us, even if they won't admit it.
Mysteries are fun. I did! The roomie and I made a yummy dinner and watched It Could Happen to You. It was fun. Also chocolate. There was lots of chocolate.

...Yeah, I think Jack and Janet's unspoken policy is "don't ask, don't ask, we don't want to know, don't ask!"
Mine was similar! My roomie and I got each other Valentiney presents that included notes and doodles and chocolatey things, and I made soup. ^_^
