I think Beth hates her dad.

She always says that Jaimie is just trying to please their father and because of that he has turned into a horrible person.

I think she hates the way her father has manipulated Jaime and hates him for it.

I think Beth can't get over herself which would be cute if she were a late teen/early 20's but she looks like she is in her late 30's early 40's if I were to be generous so it is just really sad and tiresome.

If she had sabotaged her adult relationship with Rip then I might agree but I think she is more complicated, perhaps embarking on personal recovery and healing story line. Perhaps.

Because she comes across as such a tough bitch I just expect more. As such she tends to be more of a sulky tantrum thrower. She has her good points and I do like it when she is focused and channels her rage but the sulky stuff just bores me.

Interesting theory. I think she hates herself more and that is why she has self destructive behavior sometimes. Maybe she hates herself because she blames herself for her mother's accidental death, and maybe also because of her teen abortion. Maybe it is easier for her to project hate toward Jamie than take any personal responsibility for anything. Maybe she and Jamie were always competing for papa's love, leftover bits not given to Kacey the favorite. Maybe she hates her dad or maybe she really hates and blames Jamie for everything and wants to ruin him. Her character fascinates me. Excellent writing and acting. Kudos to the cast and crew.

Are you watching all episodes in order?

Some of that may be true but i think she truly hates Jamie more than her dad, i mean shes always went on about Jamie being selfish and only caring about himself, and she sees him as an outsider to the family, she even asked her dad if he can say that he loves Jamie the same as he loves her and Kayce and he had no reply. In her mind Jamie is a soulless, selfish, coward who only cares about his own ass. I mean she tried to make him commit suicide to do the family a favor.

Also if it was more about her dad i don't think she would have gave Jamie that threat in the stalls about him one day finding someone he loves and then shes gonna tear it away from him, that sounded like pure personal hatred for him.

I'm sure she does hate her dad to some extent, cause in S2 she told Monica to get Kayce as far away from her dad as possible so he doesn't turn into him, but i don't think she hates her dad as deeply as she does Jamie. As we seen in the previous episode Jamie took her to an abortion clinic on the Res when she was a teenager and conveniently left out the part about how they was gonna sterilize her, so she blames him for taking away her chance to ever have a family of her own.

Agreed. Beth definitely hates Jamie more than anyone else.

For sure, i mean we've seen she has some dislike of her father, but her hatred of Jamie is on another level, she legit wanted him to kill himself, she has ZERO sympathy towards Jamie, she takes any chance she can to cause him pain or embarrassment.

He was in the stalls cleaning shit and covered in dirt and lower than he ever had been before, and she had just gotten the shit beat out of her the other night by The Beck Brothers hired goons, and she still felt the need to go in there and threaten Jamie and spit on him. That right there shows you how deep her hatred runs for him.
