One thing you don't take into account is that Eric has total control over mom and if MC did fight its off to camp he goes.
MC has to use the tools given to him to use and that is DS fault for not allowing anything else to happen.
No I accounted for it. First of all the MC is an adult. If his mom threatens him with homelessness, he actually has squatters rights. You could stand your ground and refuse to move out and the law will back you up. Mom has to go get a court order if she really wants to exile her son into the cold and dark streets to fend for himself. This system is to protect young adults from cunt parents.
Lets say MC just calls eric out and doesnt take his shit. The second encounter when hes at dinner, you have known this dude for 5 minutes. You have been supportive of your mom at this point (I hope so), and this cunt is sizing you up in front of your family in your own home. Saying looks like you cant fight, I bet military school would straighten you out.
Bitch you dont know me like that... Seriously I got triggered from eric the first playthrough, I would have stood up to him and fought real quick if he bucked. This is not the streets where I can just walk away and ignore you, this is at my own damn dinner table. You are a guest in my house showing me this kind of disrespect on the first meeting?
Lets say you catch his ass off guard and win the fight. All you got to do is tell your sisters to say you saw him swing first if the cops show up, unless they want there brother to serve time over some disrespectful asshole. Doesnt matter what mom says, you have your own witnesses and cops will not be able to press charges.
If sisters dont back you up then your family is seriously cunts and gives zero shits about you. Walk away and never speak to them again, sorry life sucks. But at least now you know and can try to find strength in standing on your own.
Mom has no power to send you to military school and like I said if she really wants to cast you out into the cold dark streets to fend for yourself, she is going to have to go through the court system to do it if you have any kind of backbone. And if she is willing to go that far over some disrespectful asshole that was dicking her for 5 minutes, then sorry to break it to you but your mother doesnt give a shit about you.
Its not like MC wasnt willing to pitch in and was being a cunt to his parents (I hope). At this point you are being supportive, contributing around the house, seeking to provide for your family. If I was MC I would be looking into a job instead of pimping my family out on the internet without there consent, but thats why its a porn game.
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Anyways if I was in MCs shoes thats how it would play out, and I believe a lot of people here are with me. MC is a huge beta for letting eric disrespect him like that.
