I still am of the belief he moved out there to Washington was to get away from his parents. They must've said something that bothered him, besides spending money like it was going out of style, and I do remember they brought up the issue of his spending when they went to his mature adult condo in Bridgeport and expressed concern for his spending. Keep in mind, he was spending money like a 90's rapper and he thought he was always going to be on top.
Yep, like I said a few pages back. You can tell that Phil hates his parents secretly but pretends to love them. This is what I've pieced together form listening to all the wpig restreams
1)Linda sounds like a helicopter mom and Dave sounds like your typical boomer who wants to go to work to get away from the family he hates being around.
2)Linda smoked like a chimney and Phil has autism which would make him hate the smell.
3)Phil knew the area they lived in was shitty and Dave could've easily have moved them somewhere nicer/whiter but didn't.
4)Phil mentioned that during high school apparently Dave and Linda were going to get divorced and Phil freaked out at them cause he thought they were fighting over him. Apparently the divorce never happened (see 1)
5)Phil's parents (maybe just Linda) didn't want Phil doing the FGC tournament circuit cause he would be wasting time and money (she wasn't wrong). He freaked out over this as well.
6)Phil's parents adopted Phil's cousin and took care of her. Phil probably viewed this as cutting into his me, me, reeeee time. I think it's speculated that the wolverine doll incident might've happened around this time and they didn't buy it cause money would've been tight.
7)Speaking of that, the wolverine doll. Phil was spoiled rotten as he seemed to have every toy, game, and console. He doesn't respect how spoiled he was and took everything small as a major slight against him.
He moved away so that he didn't have to deal with them and to spite them. Phil's just waiting for them die so he can sell the snortfort and inherit their house and live relatively low expense. I hope that Linda passes first, then Dave grows a spine and gives the house to the sister-cousin or donates it.
