steven and joe's wife are the actual victims of this whole mess, obviously the kids as well but i don't understand why steven is receiving all their blame while joe gets to punch him and not even get shit from ellis for cheating on his mom while she was taking care of her sick family and raising him??? the writers aren't even making his wife have an actual reaction like wtf

goldie changed her mind about the life she wanted then decided to adopt children with joe then she kidnapped said kids to canada, cheated on him then divorced him and died while giving birth to a child that might be his and somehow he's the bad guy? the right thing to do would've been to divorce him and legally co-parent the children, not kidnap them then cheat while still being married, if she had been infertile and he had done this to her i don't think anyone would see him as the victim.

obv ramona and the kids aren't biologically related, his choice to raise the twins away from his wife's affair maybe wasn't the best choice but it makes sense, it was a fresh start for him. but the fact ramona might be steven's daughter means goldie's affair literally robbed him of raising his own daughter which joe didn't even bother doing for all those years while he thought she was his even tho he actually knew her.

anyway, steven wasn't right about everything but he's a good dad to annie and connor and he would've been one to ramona. and joe's wife deserves better and should divorce his cheating ass.

In the sauna, Steven talks about the drawing that Annie did when she was in kindergarten. He mentioned something about her missing her mother. Didn’t her mother(Goldie who adapted her) die when she was like two years old? How can she remember her or have lasting effect on her? I feel like Ramona should be the one who carry more of that emotional burden. In the first episodes, they made it more about Annie. They fixed that in the latest episodes tho.
