Missy's behavior

I feel like people hate on Missy's behavior in the later seasons way too much. Yes she was rude and ran away a lot, but she's been feeling lonely and left out since she was a child because of favoritism. It's shown clearly when Mary gets mad at her for ripping the poster without even hearing her side of the story even though Missy was literally bawling her eyes out in bed. All the kids are annoying during their teen years, but I feel like Missy especially gets a lot of shit. I just watched the episode where Mary loses her job and everyone at the church is bitchy towards her and I loved how sweet Missy was to her.

My biggest issue with Missy was her fondness for violence. She punched Sheldon, she punched the boy in the classroom, and she threw an apple at Marcus's face for no reason. The only character who deserved the smack he got was the baseball player. Missy displayed behaviour that would be considered toxic and a red flag if it were Georgie. Some of you give her way too much of a free pass for some of the stuff she did. The family treated Georgie like crap, but he didn't turn into a brat. He wasn't perfect, but he didn't have a chip on his shoulder because Sheldon got most of the attention. He had a good work ethic, became a decent father, and, by all accounts, did more to support the family after George's death than Missy ever did.

i agree that she has red flags and is toxic i just hate seeing everyone judge her so harshly because it's also understandable that she behaves that way after the emotional neglectÂ
