I don't know why people throw out the simple stuff that we all have in our everyday lives when looking at the plot for this show.

I don't believe that y'all have NEVER built something up in your head to be waaaay worse than it actually was - that an outside observer would look at and go "no big deal."

Scott's dad was horrified at what he had done. In his mind he almost killed his son and, through his irresponsible, careless and selfish actions, ended his marriage. This is his defining moment. The biggest thing in his life ever. He would never imagine that his son would see it differently.

While Scott's mom felt she was justified in sending her husband away, she felt the guilt of depriving her son of his father and that weighs on her conscience as a "Really Big Deal" even though if she asked Scott he would say he never blamed her.

I'm actually confused by the lack of understanding on this point. Folks on here have no problem understanding Stiles' "eyes of a child" guilt that he is somehow responsible for his mom's death but don't get that the same thing is going on in adult heads too.

I don't know, what's the average age of people around here? I'm only in my 20s, with no kids. Maybe it's just that we are all mostly young enough to think that people outgrow that 'wide eyed childish guilt that Stiles had' or that we can't relate to a mothers guilt of keeping her son away from her father. Or some combination of the two.

I completely get that being enough for Scott's dad to have needed to tell Scott. It was as you said his defining moment, his turning point. Plus as he's a recovering alcoholic, he's probably doing AA, and steps 8 & 9 involve listing all the people you've wronged, and making amends.

Plus there's the fact that I'm a conspiracy theorist, and never believe everything that we hear is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. :D
