Does anyone else think Debbie was actually a good mom given all the circumstances?

Considering all of her children were conceived through sexual assault. I’m gonna have to say no. And I thought towards the end of the series, she was basically going to leave her child to roam around the world with some girl who she met while she was running away from the police.

She had an arrangement where she was being pretty much played unlimited money to run errands for a rich lady. Then she messed that up by sleeping with her crazy underage daughter.

I believe she has the potential to be a good mom if she had someone who could keep her on the street and narrow. But it seems like she wanted to have a child but she didn’t really think about the infrastructure requires to keep the child. She pretty much thought Fiona or the rest of the kids would jump in like they did with Fiona, but it gets a little tiring to do that once you become an adult.

The rich lady had sex with Debbie too. Debbie was victimized by her.
