She might be the only person in the whole cast I’m rooting for.

I echo this. I’m newly sober and was also kinda inspired. And I hear her healing through how she speaks. She was willing to open her heart to some other levels of both her son and Mary and prob even herself during her trip. And despite deep (and valid) concerns she approached them lovingly. That’s good, restorative parenting. Young love can be messy but overall I just hope the kiddo has a great life and Mom and brandan can keep working towards healing as well.

I actually thought about this the last episode. She is a really great example of life after addiction. She clearly had struggles and missed a lot with her kids… and she’s trying to make up for it. You can tell she loves her kids and even how she was with Mary was admirable. She seems like a really solid person and I don’t know her but I’m proud of her!

She’s been great . Obviously been to therapy and learned strategies including communication strategies.

I know it’s edited to shape the narrative but she really ended up being cool I agree

She seems great now. It is unfortunate however that she has done lasting damage to Brandon and his life — it is not difficult to see how his troubled upbringing has led him to this toxic relationship with Mary and a tough road ahead in the Philippines.

she admitted and apoligized for coming there with a chip on her shoulder in regard to Mary, when have we ever seen anyone on this franchise do that?

You can tell she underwent therapy and is applying it to the relationships around her. A nice lady. At first I was skeptical but she really opened up to Mary

I understand being mad at her for essentially abandoning Brandon, but addiction is also a disease. Good on her for becoming sober and rebuilding a relationship with her son! She also doesn’t use her addiction as an excuse and she recognizes that it’s her responsibility as a mom to rebuild the relationship with her son

I hated how people came in here saying “Well she was a drug addict she doesn’t deserve to be in his life!”. That’s bullshit.

Thank you! She took so much flak when she showed up. But the woman is doing the work. We all have pasts.

Tbh from the beginning she seemed pretty stable, although Brandan, in his own way unstable and traumatized, seems constantly anxious over her. I waited to see how things played out because some people had their weariness too, but glad to see people coming around! Even she came around to Mary a bit huh?

Now these damn bugs…. Gtg.
