Of course I feel like banging Cuddy on the head and telling her "your ex destroyed a building, you destroyed your dream with your own hands" but the drabble is from her perspective, and as such it's pitch-perfect. And Stacy [it is Stacy, right?] fighting on Cuddy's side against Arlene is a wonderful image.
[OT: I also used to worry that my parents would try to take my daughter away from me. The fear vanished once the twins were born, no way would they have wanted to deal with those.]

Definitely alluding to Stacy, and yes, from Cuddy's POV, she is completely the injured party. I'm not saying dating House is a treat for anyone, but the way the relationship was portrayed showed how completely stupid both of them acted, but she much more so. Cuddy USED to have a completely clear-eyed vision of who House was and how they interacted. IF the Cuddy of season one, who said "No, you couldn't" when House said he could "run home" had been put in a relationship with House, it STILL would have been a disaster, but a far more honest and believeable one.

Thanks for reading and commenting and sorry for mini-rant as a comment reply.

How sad that, when she needs support the most, there's no one for Cuddy to trust.

One can interpret the situation as House being the equivalent to an abusive spouse/lover who isolates the other party. We can sort of intuit that, but it would have been nice if we actually saw it on screen. It's my fanon that this sort of happened with Stacy as well. House is an over-whelming force of nature who seems to resent his lovers/friends having other people in their lives. Look how he treats Wilson. Even if you don't see them with the slash glasses, there's something a bit disturbing about his desire for Wilson NOT to have any other close friends.

Sorry for the tl.dr. Apparently I have a lot of feelings about this.
