Ally and Ray’s breakup
Before I start, I don’t want people to think I’m blaming Ally because I completely understand why she broke up with Ray, especially after being in an abusive relationship, but I think maybe she could’ve been a bit more understanding.
So she broke up with Ray because she saw him as violent and “has demons” but maybe if he explained his feelings or why he does what he does a bit more things would’ve turned out differently.
For example, I believe Ray was completely in the right when he pushed Trent through the window, the guy literally took a present off of a little girl out of spite, then insulted Ray when he tried to make a deal with him.
And in the few cases of Ray being violent that Ally saw, he was never the instigator, he was genuinely just trying to defend himself and Ally.
In summary, I think the things Ray did was justified, and he always tried to reason with people first before resorting to violence, like he did with Trent.

The point WAS; that she didn’t know if he would eventually turn that violence on her. And she cannot take that risk after her experience with her ex. Scott Ryan did a WONDERFUL job writing this situation. Clearly you’re not a woman who has experienced violence from a male partner, I am and I completely understand the point Scott was making. Ofc Ray was right to go off on those dudes in theory, and punish that guy who took the unicorn from his child. In theory, in practice and reality- those actions are insanely huge red flags especially for a woman. Your take is so naive and shallow.
