Someone brought up in one of the post about David not shelling out money for a kid that Mel isn't supporting anymore.

Once he finds out he stop the support payments and close the account without notifying Mel which is exactly what she deserves.

I guess Mommy and Daddy Marcus aren't shelling out any cash so what will she d without funds or a job?

Jenny living with Gus and Ian is the best thing she needs right now cause she needs stability which is something neither Michael or Mel could give when they are only focused on themselves.

Besides Jenny needs to see Lindsay even if they don't talk she needs to see for herself that Lindsay is getting better and it will take time to make amends.

Hope you are Safe?

Take Care of You and Yours!😀

Wow! What a chapter! I'm not sure what game Mel thinks she's playing. The proceeding was a sham, in my estimation. If she TRULY loved her daughter, she wouldn't have denied her another parental figure to love her... in other words, she punished Jenny for Ben getting out of an abusive relationship. It seems like she was agreeing with Michael, solely to help her taunt Lindsay. Michael wouldn't have agreed to help he in that respect, if Mel would have continued to let Ben see Jenny. Then to throw out there that Ben resented the fact Michael could have a child because he couldn't due to his lifestyle and contracting HIV? Nothing said about his partner cheating.

And what kind of love did she project, by making Jenny stay with David and Michael? She didn't care about the abuse Jenny received at their hands, as long as she got that almighty check.

Now that she's lost... to me it seems... big deal... as long as she can keep the support money. Without the support money, what would Melanie do? No form of income... and I doubt she can practice law again. I so wish that Gus wouldn't allow her to continue to receive the money... she screwed up her life, make her get out and wait tables... make her see what it's like to earn minimum wage. By allowing her to keep the money, it's like saying, fine, you screwed up, here's some money, big deal. We will take care of you anyway. But, what is David going to say about paying support for a child she doesn't have physical custody of? They'll be back in court.

Jenny was no more than a meal ticket... if she was more, she wouldn't have treated her the way she did when Jenny started to defy Mel's thinking and parenting. NEEDING to control someone, doesn't constitute love. Jenny DEFIED her! That's not love... that's hate! And by her trying to say Gus' name was Marcus-Kinney, just another control issue... he's mine.

She still managed to get her jabs in there about Brian and Justin, too. Nope, the whole thing is a farce. Melanie needs to go own. She's used and abused people/children long enough.

But, the lowdown of Mel stating Jenny made all that stuff up, tells me that Mel REALLY needs help.

Long and short of it... I presume one of the main reasons Mel needs the money too, is to pay for her farce of a lawyer. WRONG on so many accounts! Her lawyer saying Mel was actively seeking employment but doesn't have documentation... she should have been made to tell where all she has applied, so that they could check with those agencies.

I felt like throwing my laptop while reading this... who knows? Maybe it would help some of the issues I'm having with it...

Wow, great chapter.  Just knew that Mel was going to snap.  She is and always has been all about Mel.  Love Gus and Ian stepping up to take care of Jenny. Wonderful writing.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU.

So Mel made it easier for Gus and Ian to win custody.  Her thinking is so warped, she doesn't realize that even if she gets back on her feet, Jenny won't go back to what she felt, which was being worthless.  Anyone could see that Melanie was only thinking of her wants and needs and not Jenny's.

Whoa!!! Masterful chapter! The arguments were very detailed and it seems that Mel is cooking something else; as Ian, I don't think she blew up just like that, she is too controlled to act this way in such a critical meeting.

Thank you for the update!
