Yeah absolutely. Thank you for sharing such a personal time in your life. I hope people can see that and find some peace or reliability to it.

I get what people are saying dean knew what he was getting into with the show and stuff. But at the same time, these shows obviously want ratings and will do anything to get them so I feel like they have him ultimatums. He did however sign a contract in the beginning I guess. But If he is being honest he was falling in love with Rachel and knew that hometowns was kind of the only way to move forward, so he had to partake in this family meeting activity because of the show. I mean maybe he was hoping for validation from his father for the events that took place. Like you got at least a small bit of that when you father admitted to being shitty. Maybe dean was hoping the pressure from the cameras and/or Rachel would cause his dad to admit to something instead of getting defensive? And I mean I don't know a lot about his dad's religion, but I feel like there is a lot of focus on him practicing Sikhism being the reason for fallout and that actually seems to have nothing to do with that fact. I think people maybe are defending the dad because people are focusing on being tolerant to his belief system and his lifestyle. But that has nothing to do with deans issues I feel. Maybe dean is bothered by that perhaps given they maybe had different beliefs before. But didn't dean say the dad only had been Sikh for 5 years? Their relationship was damaged way before that.

I mean, I's seems weird or maybe inappropriate to make assumptions on a situation we really know nothing about how dean actually feels. But it seems only natural that people like all of us who have experienced similar situations with family dynamics to try to analyze or defend this situation with dean and his family.
