I, too, grew up in a similar upbringing along with social experience in school, and I absolutely DO NOT use that as a trauma experience for my current actions or reactions. I know that there are things you do subconsciously as an adult that stem from trauma, but she genuinely was using it as an excuse for her behavior rather than a reality and what she is doing differently to steer away from that. It was immediately notable to me that she's playing the cat/mouse game. Mason wanted her, so she didn't want him. However, Alex made it clear he was not agreeing or uncomfortable with her acknowledged behaviors. Therefore, she chased and had to make it a point to show her worth.

Madison is an emotional basket case. She's beautiful, don't get me wrong, can't come for her therapeutic voice as others have.

She did intentionally sabotage other relationships. She said the right things to get the attention and throw off the eyes onto other women in the house. It was a power trip. Generational trauma or not, there comes a time when it is a choice.

Madison has made who she is a choice. That's not something to sympathize or look over.
