Hearing Ann deliver that GLORIOUS speech was very satisfying, and incredibly overdue. Somebody really, really, really had to tell the truth to Ryan already, and they should've done it ages ago. Enough with the "he's just a child", "we need to protect him" bs, he needed that clear, factual account, without any sugarcoating. Even after that he can't really seem to comprehend the reality, he would have no chance with the continued tiptoeing and talking around the facts. When a child is standing next to hot lava and you can't help the situation itself, you don't protect them from the uncomfortable thought of pain or the fear of it. You protect them from the darn lava, by telling them in no uncertain terms what will happen if they go any nearer, and what exactly happened to those who touched it before him. And if necessary, you slap them silly if they still try to go nearer, because that will still hurt a lot less than melting into lava.
Ryan calling that scum "dad" annoyed me for ages. Even if the situation was "just" an abusive relationship and him deserting his pregnant mom, that alone would already disqualify him entirely from being "dad". Not to mention trying to kill him when he was a kid. But knowing the actual truth and still clinging onto some idiotic fantasy of a daddy... Amazing. (Yes, I do understand that this sort of thing makes sense, it happens, the human mind is weird. It still is annoying though.)
