its the behaviour of a bratty kid with a ton of psych issues. Never been actually corrected of educated, only beaten with no real explanation as to why. Once ronnie absconded the pigsty, Sandra just did a terrible job raising him on her own. Ethan was out of control and she enabled his most deranged behaviours, including flying an almosd underaged bpd whore to act as a live in bangmaid while sharing a house with his mom. No sane mother would allow that if it wasnt because either: a) her mental state was already slippin (wich would mean ralph took advantage of his crazy mother for years) b) she was kinda wishing another female would take the responsability of raising him away from her. Not for nothing ralph always needed and pursued girlfriends that also acted like a mother.
Physical discipline is fine as long as it’s done with a firm set of rules and fairness. Unfortunately, many parents are like Ronnie and they just scream and beat the hell out of kids, or their spouse, because they are in a foul mood, crazy, someone else pissed them off or just a belligerent drunk. This is why Ralph shouldn’t be in a home with children.
Sandra coddled Ralph because she felt guilty he had a schizo abusive father, a disabled brother and he was emotionally eating himself into being the fattest kid at school. Ralph’s tantrums kept her walking on egg shells and giving in to his every whim. It’s his learned behavior, which is why he has behaved the way he has his entire life, and it set the pattern for all his relationships.
Ralph gets upset, Yells, throw tantrums, threatens…and if all that fails he threatens to kill himself and crosses his fingers. It’s the Ralphaway.
Ralph’s biggest problem is he’s all alone in his shack with nobody to yell at, nobody to bring him food and nobody to pay his rent. Nobody but Twitter to make suicide threats too. When he suicide baits on Twitter I figure it’s because the small number of ppl he still texts with are ignoring him. I bet 50% of texts Ralph has tried to send to May in the past year have been suicide baiting, hoping she would maybe see it and be worried enough to reply.
His conversation with Jesse is a good example of why even parasocial friends must block the pig.
