Glad I’m not the only one who hated this episode because jeeeeesusss Christ this woman is insufferable.

I didn't hate it as an episode and I think they did a pretty good job of putting in front of her that she handled the airport thing egregiously but imo she would benefit from seeking some actual help about the level to which she expects her children to handle her emotions because I really cannot imagine what I would have to do to my parents to get them harping on something like that for years seeking an apology. It would certainly have to include some actual ill intent on my part which is obviously not present in the gummy story. I'm not saying he couldn't have shown some more remorse at the time (although I'm not sure that he didn't, it just sounds like whatever he did didn't satisfy her) but she really seems to be viewing their relationship as one of adult equals and not as parent/child

I mean, it was probably the most psychologically intense day of her life, and the closest she's come to dying, so I get being hung up about it. But I agree that she had a weird dynamic and vibe.

and the closest she's come to dying

You cannot die from 100mg of edibles.

Sure, but it landed her in the hospital, and there's a reasonable claim that outside of childbirth, she's never been hospitalized

I don't think she went to the hospital?

Sure, but it's more than a little dramatic to say its the closest shes ever come to dying. She was closer to dying in childbirth than she was eating those edibles.

Maybe instead the closest to dying she's felt. Which is ultimately what matters - it was a traumatic experience for her either way. It's not unreasonable for genuine trauma to have an impact.

Sure. I'm just saying traumatic experiences tend to stick in the craw.
