[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Gotta say I find the responses here completely fascinating.

Right off the bat you have people saying "Alex should have taken help from all these people that offered!" Then when she does take help from Nate - a guy who has been interested in her romantically since before she was with Sean, BTW - she's criticized for not being grateful and dating the wonderful Nate. But the truth is, she IS interested in Nate, but not from a position of her being homeless and living in his house to secure her child's access to this fabulous preschool (which, of course, Nate introduced her to).

Did she screw up by sleeping with Sean. Well, yes. But if you want to - go re-watch that scene. Alex is in shock. She's just taken her mother to the hospital in the midst of a major mental health issue and major injury. She can't even clean herself up. Sean is wiping her mother's blood off of her. Sleeping with Sean was obviously a mistake, but it's really interesting that every other character gets to be a complete screwup and yet are absolved of their sins except Alex.

And Sean is perfectly happy to take her back to the trailer and sleep with her without one thought of where HIS daughter is and who is looking after her. At one point prior to this night Sean says he doesn't want Maddy living at Nate's but then he's perfectly happy to leave Maddy there overnight with no phone call to Nate as long as he is able to sleep with Alex. And when Alex wakes up the next morning, she's freaked out and immediately wants to get back to Maddy and Sean...wants to cook breakfast.

I don't really fault Nate for his reaction (I was the one that said he was nasty to her), but clearly his motives were never totally benevolent even if they were well-intentioned.

In general, I found Alex to be remarkably focused and level headed, despite her childhood (which her dad also gets a total pass for), she's a great mother to Maddy, and I think she should get the chance to screw up too.[/quote]

I agree.  However allowing wine at her child’s birthday party was a ridiculous and costly mistake.  No excuse for that stupidity.  It cost her daughter a perfect place to live.  [/quote]
