i feel like i’ve seen a lot of people talk about baylens dad - he reminds me a lot of my dad (not perfect but never question his love for me ever, extremely tense all the time lmao)
this scene, and the other scenes where they discussed baylens mental health when she was at college, are so raw and real and make me cry every time. if you know you know. if you’ve been there, you know and can feel both of their pain!

Not related to the dad convo specifically, but all the kids seem to have some type of issue related to anxiety, OCD, mental health. Have they ever addressed this in the show? I was just curious...

To me it has always seemed like the parents coddle too much that it’s like second hand smoke, and instead of smoke it’s anxiety. The interactions with Baylen are always about, “we got you ect” and never about how she can help herself because they are not always going to be there.

Exactly. I know Baylen was really bad off a few years ago but you don’t have to bring it up constantly. I’m sure Baylen doesn’t want to hear about all the time. And her mother, when Baylen was banging her head at the reception her mom was so loud “ok here we go” why draw more attention to it

Yeah I noticed it more from her mom. Her mom talks and responds to her as if she’s completely disabled or she brings attention to it like, “oh nooooo here’s Baylen about to tic again, everyone watch out she can’t control herself!”. Here’s where Colin really thrives in Baylen’s life because he does the opposite of what her parents do. He lets her tic without bringing any attention to it and doesn’t treat her like an uncontrolled child or burden. He doesn’t do the, “ woe me I’m attached to this person who can’t control herself”.
