Oh, yeah, and about the “girl trouble” Daniel was said to have had - Anna said “some girl” with a sneer in her voice.
I was really confused about what she was saying (so, what else is new?). First, she said he had become abusive to her. OK, that’s appropriate for a kid to be cutting the apron strings at that age and boys have to do it kind of explosively (not to mention the strange relationship between Daniel and Anna - like he was the husband or boyfriend or sometimes father - and Anna was the S.O.).
So, she thinks he’s being abusive “at first” - then she “finds out” he has a GF. Then she finds out they broke up and he’s having problems over that. Then, she says “that’s when he changed.”
I never got whether he had changed back to being softer and kinder and needing her again, when he had the break-up - or whether all the “abusive” stuff came about after the GF break-up. Did you get it?
could 'abusive' be, as in his comment to HK Dec 05 about not getting any? I think the older Dan got, the more vocal he was in his distaste for HK and others around his mom and he told them so, especially after he may have thought they were at the bottom of him being thrown out for staying out all nite at 18.
I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine that there may have been one or more arguments that would cause Daniel to seek out Jack Harding. We can't forget, he had a premonition of his mother in a coffin. In the pic of Daniel/HK on set at Alien, Daniel is in the higher chair and HK was offered the sand-chair, low chair - I don't think that is accidental the way they're sitting.
