Isn’t it interesting how every time Tommy is in trouble or in pain he comes to women. Not like, to heal, but it always so happens that it’s women around him. He comes to Ada when he’s beaten up, twice. He is with May, Tatiana and Lizzie after Grace’s death, when he’s mentally unstable and deeply hurt. He comes to Esme when his daughter gets sick, and Linda is the first one to hear about his soon “death”. Polly is there, almost always. She is there after his breakdown. Grace is there when he is chased by the police, after he shoots his horse. She is there during his hallucinations, she is his hallucinations. Lizzie is there when he fails at shooting himself. Diana is there after his daughter dies. Ruby is there when he almost kills himself. Yeah, Tommy trusts men: his brothers, the clay-kickers, his uncle. But it’s women who always see him at his lowest, weakest, darkest points, and I think that it says something about him as a character and about a lot of other things in particular.
