Helen is probably doomed. We see clues in the plot. Her illness has been getting worse over the past few months - we hear this from Patrick's conversation with Derek at the end, when we get into the house. We can read her farewell note for Patrick.are you sure he would let her go? , or emotionally manipulate and force her, to take care of her mother, and later of him when he gets old. Stay in the same house with her husband and her kids, so she can be close to Helen and to Him.
In BaDIK there will be no death of the main characters as I am sure, but minor ones can die. There's a feeling of depressive doom that haunts you the whole time you're in Maya's house, very Ocean-style, so I felt it. When this happens, nothing will keep Maya at home.
Nothing can be done while he has the levers of control, and talking to him is useless while this is happening. Patrick is slightly damaged in his mind - with his distorted perception of reality, he protects his children for the sake of Helen. "Patrick is the most overprotective douche I know" - Josy.I think Maya and Derek just weren't trying to talk tough with Patrick.
They didn't try to resist him.
Perhaps if they had done it decisively, he would have had to put up with it.
For all his flaws, he doesn't look like a man who wants to ruin his children's lives.
Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
But that's my opinion.
Maya could have told him -" You fucking bitch will respect me. Otherwise, I will claim that you harassed me. And then you're going to get fucked up. "
I'm sure these arguments could have a sobering effect on him.
