All good, DD. I get that. Alice in her heyday was freakin' awesome.  I agree, Victor needs to back down for once in his life and accept that people (including him) make mistakes, and that kicking someone when they're down and low isn't an admirable trait. He doesn't have to help, but he really should stop with the taunting and insults, b/c it only makes him look bad. |

I agree totally that they are both right and they are both wrong. I love the fact that Maggie recognizes the path that Chloe is on and is trying to save her from herself. I love that fact that she is trying to "Pay it Forward" just like was done for her and I applaud the fact that she is not bowing down for a man and standing up for herself.
However, Victor is right that Chloe's "path of destruction" does not just affect her, it affects those around her. Yes, it takes 2 to have a relationship and no one is forcing her to do the things that she has done to get her to this point, but at the same token, no one forced Brady, Phillip, or Daniel into their roles in failed relationships with her. They are just as much at fault as she is. The difference is that they have manned up and taken responsibility and dealth with the consequences. Chloe seems to just want a pity party and that is why I can't stand her. Her actions and self-absorbtion have put Parker in harms way or in a potentially harmful situation on more than one occasion. he is just an innocent baby who has done nothing. Yes the attempted suicide was PPD, BUT Phillip pointed that out very clearly that she wasn't thinking about Parkers well-being. She could have easily left him with Maggie when doing what she did. I think Victor is hanging onto that "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" attitude and refuses to have his family taken by Chloe again.
I am really enjoying seeing both sides (from the outside looking in) to this storyline, but I really hate that the cost of it is Victor & Maggie. I just love these two together!!!!

Since when with PPD you think about your baby's well-being.PPD is about endangering your child and yourself.Other wise it's not PPD.And I haven't seen yet Philip,Daniel or Melanie take any responsibilty for what happened.Sorry.So far the only one who has,and taken more than her share is Chloe.Everyone else is putting all the blame one her and acting like poor innocent victim in all that.Especially Daniel and Melanie.

But Chloe's PPD was EXTREMELY severe.I mean when you reach the point of suicide attempt, and endangering your MIRACLE baby,it can't be more severe.

I agree with the comments that Maggie and Victor are both right. They are different people with different life experiences so it makes sense that they would disagree on this matter on probably many more to come. That's reality for all couples and with these two both being so stubborn it makes sense that they would butt heads this way too. Personally, I think that is the type of storytelling that is most compelling and unfortunatley too rare on Days.

It just makes me sad that we finally get a glimmer of romance and happiness and now it is gone.

^^ I know, Mrs. M. It's a shame.
There are enough inherent differences between Maggie and Victor that they could have arguments about morality or ways to run a business without splitting them up. It would have been very interesting to watch them work through their differences rather than walking away from a good thing.
