I have to disagree. Mark thought the world of his father and attended to his personal needs which most of us couldn’t do. How many of you could change a stoma bag especially when it leaks during the night? Please don’t compare Mark to Jeremy as he is a totally different character. Mark is quietly spoken, deeply religious and a gentle soul. Nursing staff and doctors commented on how devoted Mark was to his father. Sami used to swear at Mark during the many times he was in hospital and staff chastised him as Mark never argued back.
What I have witnessed from your numerous posts Daisy is that you are emotionally involved and Mark is playing on your emotions in order to keep you on side and to fight his corner.
It doesn't matter how Mark may have appeared to nursing staff or how quietly spoken, deeply religious or how gentle his soul may appear. These individuals are chameleons and they have a tendency to mimic their targets; it's all part of their manipulation.
You stare: "Sami used to swear at Mark during the many times he was in hospital and staff chastised him as Mark never argued back."
I'm sure he didn't but that doesn't mean he wasn't raging underneath and waiting for the right moment, when he and his father were alone, to act on his deep seated hatred towards him.
I know you don't want to hear what I have to say because you have invested time and energy into Mark but I have read every word you've written and i do not buy into Marks tales and I am not alone.
He's playing on your emotions, in the process he's manipulated you and he is exploiting your kindness.
