ooh!! this is so interesting though, to me this suggests 2 things:

1) if they had gone with this script, it implies Sherlock’s “i’m a cold sociopath” facade is due to the trauma of witnessing his parents break up. Maybe he saw them and idolized their relationship and to have it end up like that feels like reality slap in the face that “love isn’t real, it will never last, everything ends in heartbreak, etc” and that’s why he’s sworn off any kind of relationship, friendship or otherwise (coz he doesnt even have any friends, even with lestrade he keeps his distance kinda). That is until John came into his life

2) this alone proves that moftiss didn’t plan Eurus’ existence “since the very beginning”. Because both eurus and the scrapped parent divorce seems to try to explain why sherlock closed his heart the way he did. And if they wrote THIS in s1, it means there was no eurus planned yet back then

…..either that or eurus secretly invented time travel and gave moftiss td-12 x’D

In his best man speech Sherlock says a lot of disparaging things about marriage. They script always seemed to screen familial problems I the Holmes family
