I found it somewhat ironic that Abigal seems determined to keep Chad away from his family while she laments that she really wants her bum of a father who has donenothing but disappooint her family, to reunite with her mom. She stills loves him and longs for her dad to be a part of her life and for their family to reunite. Doesn’t seem fair that Chad has to give up the family he just found. Good or bad, Stefano welcomed him with open arms and treated him better than Chad’s original "father".
I felt it was thoughtless of her to go on and on about how important family is to her all the while encouraging him to turn his back on his. I think she should encourage him to try to help the family move onto a more honest type of work. JMHO.
