I am hoping it is just going to make them even stronger and more determined to make it work. I think they are both going to give it their everything and hopefully prove his mum wrong.
I think barb did the opposite of what she was hoping and pushed them even further into each other’s arms

Yes I think there's a good chance it will have the opposite affect than Barb intended. IMO it really depends whether Peter has seen enough now watching his Mother's behavior to finally realize just how manipulative she can be. He obviously loves his family a lot, but for him to ever build a healthy relationship and life outside of his parent's control he needs to create some distance. That'll be a big decision. The fact that he broke up with HA in the first place was a step in choosing to follow his own heart. And that he still wanted to work things out with Madi knowing he was going against his Mother's wishes points to Barb's lessening control already. It might be why she threw such a big tantrum.

When controlling people start to lose their grip they begin to panic, what we saw is Barb going nuclear in the hopes it'd make Peter stop. But if Madi and he remain close to each other and are supported by their friends and her family, then it would actually push him to go forward and be even more bonded with her. This is really the time for him to break-free of Barb's control. I don't know yet if he'll do it fully, but there's at least a chance, and for his future ability to ever find happiness, I really hope he takes the leap (tbh it's going to have to happen eventually, it might as well be alongside the woman he loves). All JMO.

cheriee wrote:Exactly @Kas_256. It's just extraordinary to me that they can't see how they should just allow Peter to live his own life. Either Peter and Madi work, or they break up. That's life, let it play out how it will. They don't like Madi, well Peter does and it's his decision. He's seen her on and off screen, he loves her. Peter did what his family wanted, he got engaged to HA, and he wasn't happy. He still loved Madi. Now they want him to give up a second chance with Madi and follow what they want for him again. It's so incredibly entitled and such a toxic family dynamic. It's essentially saying: "we don't like what you're doing so we'll bully you into submission."

The brother just wants to justify Barb's behavior, well IMO nothing can justify it. Disliking your siblings or child's partner isn't an excuse to humiliate and manipulate them.

I really hope Peter has moved out and preferably somewhere out of LA. I think Madi being someone they can't control terrifies his family. They are so used to their set power dynamics that they don't know what to do now because Peter has been asserting himself more and more. Madi isn't beholden to them. And that's the healthiest thing. I would never treat my family the way they've treated Peter. I think it's actually very disturbing. All JMO.

Also from Becca's Instagram story she says some people where missing that they where suppose to interview. Since Hannah Ann's interview and has a part two to it coming out Friday it sounds like Peter and Madi may have skipped out on the interview.
