Ouch. Alan,Ann
I really think both of you are being really hard on Rory's mother. I had to go back to chapter 1 to refresh- but she didn't even know if Eddie would be found. I think she chose not to tell Rory incase Eddie couldn't be found. Granted, Alice has caused a lot of trouble-but I know I have give more chances to my father than he deserved-hasn't everbody made that kind of mistake?
Now, what I'm wondering about is, Jase is a shrink isn't he? why isn't he playing a more active roll with Rory,tying to help him deal with the situation a little better?
