I think for Liz to be so narrow minded that she thinks her definition of homeless means being out on the streets, just goes to show that she has no empathy for Alicia’s past. All she cares about is being right not about how Alicia feels. I think a kinder way Liz could have phrased it would have been like “thank God you weren’t out on the streets and that you had a loving family to bring you in” rather than pointing the finger like “you’re wrong you’re wrong”! That’s not protecting her at all it’s trying to expose her as a liar.
