Okay, can we unironically talk about Eddie’s mommy issues because I feel like some people seem to forget about them. Or maybe they just don’t realize he has them. These people all claim “Myra’s not abusive” or how she’s “not a stand-in for Sonia” and that she just “loves Eddie too much”. Myra doesn’t love him at all. She’s every bit as mentally and emotionally abusive as Sonia. And it’s shown in both the book and the movie
Eddie was ambivalent about proposing to her and only did so because Myra had more or less talked him into it. This shows she doesn’t care about what he wants if it doesn’t align with what she wants. Like Sonia
Myra tries to reason with Eddie to keep him from leaving, going so far as to blackmail him with guilt about leaving her alone. She’s telling him where he can and can’t go, which is controlling behavior. Like Sonia
Myra obsesses over Eddie’s nonexistent health issues and insists that he’s sick in situations that he’s blatantly not. Like Sonia
Sonia and Myra are played by the same actress (Molly Atkinson) to reflect how deep Sonia’s lasting psychological impact on Eddie was
Whenever mentioning IT and marrying a parent-like figure, everyone talks about Bev. And, while she did do that, Eddie did so as well. Some people seem to forget that just because someone isn’t hitting you or trying to rape you doesn’t mean they aren’t abusing you. Being told what you can’t do your whole life can be just as (if not more) damaging to a child and could even last far longer than being beaten. I’m not saying what Bev (and anyone else who’s been physically abused) went through wasn’t anything. I’m just saying that she wasn’t the only Loser who was abused and people seem to forget that

Private John Good pleaded guilty to three charges of bicycle theft. The bicycles, Detective Walter Scott informed the court, were worth $80 and had been sold for $30. "Accused has a record," said Crown Council F. I. Malone. "He will be sentenced to nine months on each charge, concurrent sentences," said the court.

Appearing for sentence on a charge of breaking into a branch of the Caulfield Dairy and stealing money, William Brossoit and Robert Dorland, who previously pleaded guilty, were each sentenced to four months definite and three months indefinite.
R. Baptie denied ill-treating a dog by beating it with his fists. He had only slapped it for running away, he stated. After hearing three witnesses testify the dog was making a loud outcry as if it had been run over by a car, a fine of $15 and costs was imposed.
"If you would see the dog greet me at night when I come home you wouldn't think it was ill-treated." said Baptie. "I admit I lost my temper after chasing it all over the district, but I only slapped it."
"Dumb animals soon forget," said the court.

"Unfortunately a lot of stealing is being done by young men these days," replied the court.
Constable Jarratt said accused stole a box containing the money. "I found the box in his room. He had $6 left," said the officer.

IGNORES RED LIGHT
----
County Police Court, County Buildings, Magistrate Keith.
"You drove through a red light and if anybody had happened to be walking there, he might have been killed," said Magistrate Keith. He fined Ross Comer $15 and costs for careless driving. On a charge of failing to notify the department of highways of change of ownership of the ear he was driving, he was fined $3 or three days.
"When they are sold out they can't do anything about it," said court in fining William Kirkpatrick $10 and costs or 10 days for causing a disturbance at a brewer's store on Saturday. "I had been waiting in line for about half an hour and then they said there was no more," said accused, pleading guilty.
Wallace J. Atkinson, 21, charged with failing to produce a registration card and with attempting to steal an automobile was remanded to Sept. 17. Bail was set at $1,000.
"I don't believe the evidence of accused," said the magistrate in finding James Bradley guilty of assaulting a woman. Accused was fined $10 and costs or 10 days and was ordered to stay away from her home.
The woman who said she was the mother of three children and that her husband was overseas, said Bradley had come into her rooms and had knocked her down with his fist.
She admitted having a hand on a beer bottle when Bradley approached.
"He said, so you want to sling beer bottles, and then he hit me." said complainant.
"Bradley took up a beer bottle and said he was going to beat her face so badly that no hospital would be able to fix it up again," testified Alfred Wells.
"I went into the room to talk to Wells," declared the accused, "and the woman took up a beer bottle and made for me. I took the bottle from her and pushed her back. "I did not either with my fist, I merely pushed her."
