I mean I don’t see them as support because he doesn’t really care about them. Which we know why but they don’t. You can’t help someone if they don’t want help, all you will do is keep on bothering them until they get tired of you. The ML does need professional help and it would be great if he got it but the FL and his daughter can’t force him too since he doesn’t have a close and loving relationship with them. Or that’s how I see it, i dont know about you. The FL may tell him to get it or help him in so way but the past her had a nasty personality so the ML doesn’t trust her at all, so to me she isn’t an option. His daughter is the same, he isn’t really close to her and we don’t know if he loves her or not(I feel like he has no feelings for her, it’s like she’s just there yk) he might care about her but I feel like it’s not enough to consider getting help because of her yk

We know why he ripped it, obviously we all would. He is changing but their relationship hasn’t changed so much, you can see some changed here and there but the FL isn’t picking up those small changes that we are. I don’t blame him for ignoring his daughter, I mean what happened to him isn’t something to take lightly. I dont know how you view a person changing over time as wanting help? I don’t think that’s a call for help if it’s moving in a positive way. It would be a call for help if it was in a negative way. But I see that he’s changing in a positive way

It’s normal to be upset over hurting someone even if you don’t care, tho we can see how the FL has changed and he has too. We see that he’s still wary around her but it’s not as bad as it used to be. He was even surprised when she cried over the doll. He’s noticing her changes and feels bad because he knows that she only wanted to help but his trauma is bad enough to be wary around women.

You're essentially arguing that he's not making positive changes though. You're saying that the FL won't notice what he's doing. So from the FL's perspective how could it be considered a positive change? So, in turn, from her point of view he would (still*) be asking for help. (*This isn't about the FL helping him with his trauma, after all. This is about what she's already been trying to do to reestablish a connection between father and daughter, despite *not* knowing about what happened to him.)
But regardless of whether or not he's making a positive change, just because a relationship doesn't change immediately after some (tiny, baby) steps have been taken (no matter which side is taking them nor what reason they're taking them), it doesn't mean it's not working. In fact it's far more likely things aren't working if things *did* take a drastic turn basically overnight......
"FL should get a divorce ML needs professional help" I mean ML needs a support system and FL and Blanche are his family who are in a prime position to be that support, but go off, I guess?
I'm going to guess half the comments section is either neurotypical as fuck or edgy and doesn't like admitting that struggling alone fucking sucks. Love doesn't cure everything, but people can help.
