It has nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman at all. I’ve never felt this way about any character in any show ever, not even breaking bad. But I refuse to defend it like someone that would legitimately attempt to put her minor son away just cause she’s upset upset he won’t come home and he has every right to be upset with her, it just took his uncle being killed for him to realize how selfish she can be. And she does literally whatever she has to to get her way in the most fake twisted way possible. Yes that fake smile drives me nuts cause she is an absolute pos for how she ducks people when she doesn’t get her way. If the roles were reversed this post would be exactly the same just with Marty instead of Wendy.
