* NeverMyFault: Dede refuses to take responsibility for her marriage failing. For years she blamed Gloria and repeatedly attacked her in a drunken rage even though she and Jay met years after they divorced. Then after forgiven Gloria when she was impregnated with Joe she switched to blaming Jay telling Gloria that he never helped with the kids conveniently forgetting that the reason he wasn’t around for early morning feeding was because he was working.
* MistakenForRacist: Dede mocking Gloria with a faux Latin accent while drunk. Everybody is appalled by her behavior.
