Mom has guilt about not making payments, dad allegedly upset about metal or block (even though we had no dogs in the race) and john was too busy to ask if there was a problem.
Mom was upset with john about class, and went to him to talk about it and likely resolved it. Alpha can’t make payments so mom feels guilty again about not making payment, dad makes a George Sweatt remark, john does not ask what the problem is (I guess Sandi did not ask mom ether?)
Since the relationship was fading did not act on it, assumed mom was "dissatisfied" before the wedding by comment made in heat of passion for being denied a first real request based on an apparent lie about whether the craft fare could be moved.
Moms flesh got the best of her, as did Sandi’s by believing whatever mom said was true. Dad didn't agree with what mom said because he saw through it and decided not to let one showing of the flesh end years of fellowship, John and Sandi on the other hand though that was enough to call it quits.
Clearly see mom needs to work through this, john wants an apology or the partnership is over, dad is guilty of hate via marriage, and if your spouse hates someone you are required to hate them also. This whole thing is only about moms flesh born words and it IS personal.
Now somehow we owe $318,000.00 to alpha for a building we "didn't get our way" and had no money in? And we need to give up our half of the ranch to pay for it. (And at the same time we don't even get a chance to make an income for the ranch)
But we are still going to smile and act like nothing is wrong...
