I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon but I needed to flesh out how much I also couldn't stand that little fucker Patrick. I understand that we grieve differently but he should have known better than to abuse those privileges against his Uncle who was still processing his own past. Just because it's a societal norm for 16 yr olds to turn into complete douche bags doesn't mean they should be allowed to be running over everyone as 16 yr old douche bags all because it's expected of them to do so. Lee couldn't know the difference between parenthood and enabling bratty behavior because he didn't get the chance to do so or accept it, while Patrick being mature enough to know that loss still had the audacity to take advantage of his reputation and failure. I'm sorry but I don't give familial ass holes the permission be ass holes with the "Oh I've been there and done that before" excuse to freely benefit from my own debility. You can't empathize with Patrick because he clearly can't empathize with others period given the lack of respect, acknowledgment, or even awareness towards feeding off those still suffering. His backstory wasn't shown too explicitly, but if his entitlement is already presumed of the youth, then we really should demand a little more of conscientiousness to others. It wasn't surprising he ended up deciding to become a next self-destructed Lee incarnate. it was a piece of very well-deserved humble pie.
