Rewatched #LeaveHerToHeaven and was struck by how EVERYONE attributes the obsessive, problematic relationship between Ellen & her father to her innate sociopathic tendencies and her manipulation of him, and nobody ever questions if perhaps this GROWN MAN had a hand in shaping HIS DAUGHTER'S psyche.

I'm not a fan of boiling down a woman's personality to "daddy issues," but even that is an improvement over "guess she's just a shrew."
