doing a line of hope

I don't like some people's tone abt mel... she doesn't have a life bc she's a glass child and becca and her were orphans at 20 and she is becca's primary caregiver so much of her time and energy goes to becca because becca requires significant support not bc mel is too clingy or something. sure she needs to come to terms with some aspects of becca's adulthood/independence but let's not act like mel can just get up and decide to get a life unless someone takes something off her plate. mel's lived the life she has bc she has so many responsibilities not bc she has some self-pity complex

If there is one thing Mel doesn’t have is a self pity complex. She thinks of EVERYONE ELSE before she thinks of herself, it’s the core tenant of her character. She doesn’t have a life because she’s used to taking care of her sister and now that maybe she doesn’t have to dedicate so much time to her she’s sad because that’s what happens when you’re parentified and your child/sibling grows up. It hurts! And it’s normal for it to hurt!

THANK YOU BLESS THIS POST

projecting on characters is awesome [recognizes myself through the other] what the fuck is this shit
