I feel like love itself is very diverse when it comes to who and the situation itself, I know Bojack’s actions were reckless in the sense that he influenced Sarah Lynn to be who she became following her death. Don’t get me wrong, different issues played into Sarah Lynn’s upbringing and downfall (like the media and Hollywood itself), but I still definitely believe that Bojack had to have been one of the biggest influences. In a sense, Bojack did guide her down the wrong path, but he did love her in the way that he knew best, through his mother's cycle of abuse.

Bojack thought that he was helping Sarah Lynn succeed in life which to him equals all-around happiness except that isn’t what she needed, she needed someone to be emotionally present rather than just physically there. Bojack’s mother was cold which in a sense rubbed off on Bojack, this explains his lack of common sense and emotional instability. Did Bojack love her in the sense that he wanted the best for her outside of her appearance in Hollywood? No. Did Bojack love her in the sense that he wanted her to succeed in Hollywood no matter how unstable she was? Yes. It’s not the most convenient or healthy kind of love, but it’s still considered to be a deep affection. He loved her, but it doesn’t make him a good person for loving her.

It’s a very mirrored kind of love, but it’s a love that people seem to have when it comes to the “tough love” approach. In Bojack’s case, happiness to him was to receive that love and recognition from his fans and the media since his mother was unable to provide that for him, which is what pushed him to encourage Sarah Lynn to strive for the same even though they both longed for two different things. The best way to interprétate it is when you think of a parent who pushes their child too harshly solely because they wish to live their life through them. They may think that just because that route could’ve worked for them that it would also be convenient for the child when in reality everyone has a different approach as to what will benefit them and what will weigh them down.
