But we did lose ur fiance tho🤪haha wellll it's complicated 🤪" like id tie an anvil to their ankles and drop them in the ocean fr. get out of here with that.

You know, regardless of Buddie and queer Eddie and all of that, I just really need Chris to tell Eddie he doesn't need a new mom

#THIS is the one#I need Chris to tell Eddie that he's okay with it being just them forever#because Eddie has been hearing from literally everyone about what his son should want or what his son needs#and he has yet to go to the actual source.#This is... such a big and recurring problem for him and I wonder if it doesn't stem from his relationship with HIS mother specifically#where Helena directly accused Eddie of being a source of harm for his son. So fast forward some years later where he's constantly (and#drastically) overcorrecting to avoid that. But he's never actually... talked to Christopher. Even when he left the 118.#He left “for Christopher's sake” but Christopher said himself “I never asked you to do that” and Christopher has never asked him to date#around and put himself out there in search of a wife/mother either because if nothing else#7x1 should have indicated that Shannon is still enough for Christopher too. That's why it still hurts. That's why he's still angry. That's#why he's making all these piss poor romantic decisions. He's like... she was enough for US we just weren't enough for HER.#And so Eddie needs to know — he needs to hear directly from HIS SON'S MOUTH — that he's okay with this. He's okay with just them.#And Eddie will never get off his *own* hamster wheel until he hears Chris say that he can stop fighting against this Shannon-shaped hole in#their lives and just... let it be.#Because Eddie's going to keep making decisions and he's going to keep harming himself / these women / and his son in the process#I know this isn't what he wanted. No single parent worth their salt ever wants to leave a trail of love interests behind because the goal is#always going to be providing stability for their child. I KNOW this is never ever what Eddie wanted. And I can't imagine it's what#Christopher wants either. So they need to sit down and have a proper chat — sooner rather than later. Eddie raised his kid to have a voice.#Now he needs to listen and Christopher needs to say it.#tv: 911
