Hank Sr is a creepy father. I got nuthin after that.
I get what ya mean re: Hank sr.
Misty's comment "That's just the way my family is" to either the hypnotist or the lie detector dude stuck with me because mine was quite like that too (obviously not the
same but I "got" what she meant and felt bad for her in a way). Having that in the back of my head combined with the transparency of their known history and current behaviors (drugs, no solid home for children to grow up in, not making under-aged children attend school, mother and son breaking laws together, mother claiming to love and trust her daughter then after there is a family fight mother going on TV saying she thinks her daughter is hiding something, "stand by your man" mentality, etc etc) here's my:twocents:
I think Lisa's loyalty lies with Hank and not with her children. She, to me, is the type of mother who sides with her husband regardless of what happens or who is at fault. She sees their relationship as "her life" and if the child is gonna be causing trouble in her life she'd have no problem kicking
them (the "offending child") out because of fighting between father and child/ren... regardless of if the child is too young to even live outside the home (little doubt IMO this is why Misty was out of the home so young). I think Lisa feels like she "needs" him and she is willing to lose even her children to keep him happy. I think Hank says "jump" and Lisa says "how high?" Though I suspect she's probably just always already jumping. IOW, she's "well trained".
When Tommy was arrested at the house- they all refused to press charges. Hank says the guys were "wrestling", Tommy says he threw his dad dvd's and his dad hit him. Lisa says Tommy threw DVD's
AT Hank and then
he hit his father. Tommy was pi$$ed-

"Tommy refused to write a written statement. Tommy kept a hostile posture throughout the investigation and was extremly uncooperative. Tommy continued to try instigating verbal altercations with his father, Hank, and his mother, Lisa Carmen Croslin..
~Snip~
***** stated that she did not want her father to stay at the house because Tommy will start the fighting again. stated that Tommy jumped on Hank and started hitting him.~ refused to provide a statement or
provide any additional information...
~snip~ Tommy did not leave and was still instigating verbal altercations with Hank and Lisa and was becoming combative."
As mad as he was? IMO Nobody was pressing charges because they had all already probably threatened one another while LE was in route that "I'll tell them what I know about you and then you'll have charges on you if you press 'em on me." This is not a loving family, it's a family that is holding one another hostage, IMO. I think Misty will end up much like her mom, I think she is
already much like her mom. There is a song like that, "stand by your man" or something like that?
