Jamie should have just done it

Don’t get me wrong, I am a Jamie fan. He should have killed himself because it was what was best for him.

The rest of his life was spent trying to get the approval of the man who not only would never give it, but actually told him he should have taken his own life.

And when he wasn’t wasting his time with his father, he was being abused by his sister while that man stood by and watched - sometimes literally.

His life was somewhere between a relentless nightmare and hell

It would have forced Beth to find someone else to blame for her fucked up life.

John most likely wouldn’t have admitted to himself that he drove Jamie to it, but at least he would have been forced to try to save his precious ranch without his indentured servant around to twist the law for him.

It would have ended Jamie’s pain and given those two at least a little much deserved discomfort.
