upon further reflection, the text to jamie’s dad is still bullshit actually

cutting abusers out and moving on does not require forgiveness, and it sure as hell does not require the victims of abuse to reach out to their abusers

i hope he mentions that whole thing to roy and keeley while they’re drinking champagne and roy explains how much bullshit that is actually

#ted lasso spoilers #jamie tartt #nope still not having that shit #like i can come up with a load of rationales #and fixit fics #but as on screen narrative?#absolute bullshit #if i'm being very generous to ted i can imagine he didn't think jamie would reach out to his dad #but given that ted has seen senior abuse jamie twice #and done nothing on both occasions #and on at least one of those occasions i would argue he had a moral duty to do so #i am disinclined to generosity on this point #toxic forgiveness is the worst theme of ted lasso #i might dust off my ao3 account to write a fix it i'm so mad about this one tiny bit of an episode i otherwise adored #ted lasso #richmond till we die
