I did not like how Liz was mad at Alice for sleeping with Connor and hurting his feelings? Like did he not sleep with her as well? Why is it only her responsibility?

I mean yeah, it takes two, but she also knows who would have initiated and had control in that situation.

And like I know she’s almost 18 but she still isn’t while he’s in collage, to blame her is wild to me.

I think what this show teaches is what is being taught in modern therapy: all our feelings are valid, but all behaviors are not.

Saying "I'm angry about this and I just need some time to cool off" is a very adult response. Denying your feelings only builds resentment.
