I can say that both Gilmore Girls and Ginny and Georgia did such a good job at portraying emotional parentification while also humanizing the mothers since they aren't portrayed as the villains.

Both Lorelai and Georgia are a mirror to each other. They both due to unresolved traumas participate in this unhealthy dynamics. They both treat their daughters like they are best friends first than second daughter and mother. They both blurred the lines and their boundaries on both Ginny and Rory.

While this doesn't make them the villains or bad mothers per say, it does make them more complex and nuances since both Lorelai and Georgia although love her daughters, cause them harm too. Lorelai at times could be competitive, jealous and controlling. Same with Georgia, although Georgia could be more emotionally abusive than Lorelai was to Rory. Something Georgia doesn't do that Lorelai does is putting her daughter on a pedestal not allowing her to grow or be held accountable.

Both Rory and Ginny manage their mother emotions, feel responsible for their feelings even when they shouldn't. They both carry burdens and adult responsibilities that neither of them asked for. They both have been confused and had identity crisis due to that unhealthy dynamic.

I'm going to get personal for a moment since both shows I love and have a special place in my heart but they also can be triggering and very relatable to me.

I have a close relationship with my mother but she like Georgia and Lorelai had caused me harm by blurring the lines and boundaries, by sharing her darkest secrets to me at times. And treating me like her therapist and confidant. It had been confusing and hard at times but she is my mom and even with how much she had hurt me in the past, I still would chose her again as my mom.

Just like Georgia finally did in s3, my mom had acknowledge that she did wrong in the past like when she prioritized my father's feeling when something traumatic happened while we were at his job and asked me to manage my reaction and feeling when I was the child [seven years old] who needed the comfort and didn't needed to manage my own reaction to trauma. I can still hold compassion for my mom who was so young and traumatized too.

My parents also at times would put me on pedestal and I can acknowledge now that sometimes were too overprotective and would often be afraid of punishing me too harshly because of my traumatic incidents since it was more than once that something really messed up when I was still a child myself.

SOAAAAAAA MY LUV HIIII <3 HI GWEEN HI GWYA ;333
