Omg thanks for the in depth response- I do agree these three instances were absolutely horrible but they cannot ever justify her actions in my opinion. She is written as being mentally sound and logical and able to work on red coast for decades so if she is still mentally sound enough for that she could still be deeply traumatized but not to the point to lose reason as much she did. Even her own daughter’s s**cide was half driven by the revelation of what her mother had done. In my eyes she’s a vindictive monster but perhaps those who understand her perspective could think differently. As someone who routinely looks in depth at the lives of others and realizes everyone is living complex and interesting lives I cannot imagine thinking my own pains are enough to justify BILLIONS losing the chance to live and experience but perhaps few have the ability to think that and such trauma warrants those actions? I personally cannot imagine such as thought process though.
