You both are supplanting what's actually happened on the show with your own experiences.

Stop.

Nothing I've said is a "theory" - I don't have theories about the show. I've merely stated just a few of a zillion possibilities the writers might choose to fill in the blanks of what we know of Scott's life.

You two have already taken that task and therefore you see inconsistencies between what actually happened and what you imagined happened.

The actual line "back when I lived with my dad" doesn't say anything at all about divorce or custody or anything of the sort. You filled in those blanks yourself.

It doesn't mean he wasn't also living with his mom or that his Uncle Sal, just out of prison, wasn't sleeping on the sofa too.

It just says "when I lived with my dad."

Any blank you filled in beyond that little bit of information is supposition on your part. Why is it the writer's fault that subsequent scripts don't live up to your suppositions?

The writers can't be held accountable for how you expound on those few words - they are tied only to what appeared on the show.

And what appeared on the show - as it concerns Scott's relationship with his father - is consistent.
