He was out of step with others in his family as well. There was the time that Rick and his teen daughter, Elizabeth, were putting together a crib for newborn Bella. Rick told Elizabeth to save the box, in case they needed it to send the bed back to the store, because “we just don’t know how long Bella is going to be here.”
He wrote: “I wish I could take those words back, because I’ll never forget the way she looked at me, as though I had not only hurt her but condemned Bella myself. My feisty Lizzie grabbed the box and tore it up as she started to cry.”
If he thinks baring his soul like this is going to earn him points, he’s mistaken.
I can’t imagine even thinking about sending a crib back to a store after your child died. Not only does he display his gross insensitivity to his teen daughter, but he’s cheap!
Agreed. It’s cold.
I guess it never occurred to you that at the time they may not have been blessed with unlimited cash.
And they were young.
