Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-108.2.108.169-20181123222912/@comment-35720834-20181123232513

Oh... Oh, honey. No, you're not the only one. I was livid when I read through Flashback (and same with book 2, Exile). And yes, it's especially bad because not only did he get mad at Sophie (and Keefe), he also blames them and is very uncooperative when they tried to reason with him. The thing is, it doesn't seem so bad when Fitz is is just the one getting angry. It's like, okay, he's just yelling over there, looking and sounding like a silly child. However, when you combine that sort of behavior with a shy and introverted person like Sophie (who already has a hard time voicing a lot of her worries), it not only strains their relationship but also hurts Sophie in the process. By blaming her, Sophie will start to think she's worthless (which she did admit to Exile), and will start to believe her efforts be for nothing. Now imagine her being in that sort of strenuous relationship over a long duration... Yeah, no. That's just an extremely toxic relationship.

I mean, granted, Fitz did apologize later... But he always does that! He never learned to hold his anger back thus far. And at this point, it's like, dude, the damage has already been done (so many times), then you apologize?! What?!

On a side note, I was very concern about Biana as well since she tends to mirror Fitz's anger. But even she was actually quite logical near the end of Flashback, crying, holding back, trying to think logically and not lashing out in anger.
