Ain't no winners here.
Those are Rusty's words.
Yeah, absolves him of blame, doesn't it.
Have we ever heard him blame himself for any part of this? Did he bemoan the fact that he ignored the doctors' views? I never heard of it.
The guy is a weirdo. Any normal father would be totally destroyed that he did not see the signs and protect his children, but we don't see any of that remorse in Ol' Rusty.
