I used to counsel women who had survived abusive relationships. One of the abusers frequent tricks was to convince the woman that her family disliking her partner or not supporting the relationship was an attack on the person of the woman. As in, "if they loved you, they would understand why you love me" or, " they don't want you to be independent from them and they see me as a threat, it's you and me against the world baby" sounds romantic doesn't it? Then you graduate to the woman isn't allowed to speak to her family without the boyfriend being present. He'll say it's because they manipulate her. It's to protect her from them. Because you see, if they are against him, they are against her. Because it's them against the world.
I'm sorry. I see so much wrong with this whole situation. Social services is failing. Bob is disgusting. Rene is disabled and probably not very nice.
But I don't care who you are. No one deserves to be medically fragile, developmentally disabled, and taken advantage of by the likes of goddamn Bob Mckim.
Slob runs a 'Soul Clinic.' He could be providing meaningful counseling services to Rene, full-time.
Rene is Slob's cash cow, literally and figuratively.
"The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded" - Obi-wan Kenobi.
In Slob's case, his constant screaming, browbeating and bullying is an influence on the mentally challenged (Rene).
She's the only person Slob can push around. Dumb and Dumber.
Rene, sign this power of attorney.
Rene, sign this Rep. Payee agreement.
Rene, go to college so you can get a job while I stay home and preach.
Rene, stop shitting yourself in your recliner.
Rene, shut up while I'm making a video.
Rene, put your name on the car title because I have no credit or money. But, it's my car.
Rene, take your medicine so you sleep all day and don't bother me.
Everyone smarter than Slob (99.9999999% of the earth's population) can see through him and his lying bullshit in about 1.4 seconds.
Unfortunately, Rene can't, and Slob reeled her in hook, line, and sinker.
