Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

“Not dead yet!”
Did anyone else laugh when Betty told her father that he was selfish? It didn't even occur to Betty to comfort our daughter.
Betty's a classic example of "Do as I say, not as I do."
That and she wants both the privileges and freedom of being an adult with the protection and cosseting that comes with being someone's little girl or cherished princess. And like so many other cherished princesses, there's only room for one in the household.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I didn't laugh because everything about Betty makes me terribly sad.

It was kind of poignant for me, because whenever my dad would try to talk to my mom about death, she would refuse to listen. Which is why there was such a clusterfuck after he died. At least Gene had a folder :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Such a perfect description.
Did I miss a mention of the horribleness of Peggy's mother? Loved the guilt trip AND the fact that she could not wait to watch the "poisoned" television. I am glad Peggy is moving out, though I foresee trouble with the new roomie.

Most certainly. I'm a pretty outgoing person, but I would like to be able to close my door without my roommate flipping out.

DW is convinced that Joan and Peggy will end up being roomies. I hope she is right!

I've kind of been suspecting the same thing. And I have to wonder if it'll be Peggy coming to Joan's rescue, sort of like she did with Bobbie.

I like that theory, but it would take something pretty major for Joan to get divorced.
