[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I finished watching it. My stbx left me in fairly precarious circumstances but nothing like here. I get the struggle of juggling work and childcare (my kid had to walk home from school and stay home alone much earlier than I would like), but I found social workers I encountered helpful and compassionate. I can’t imagine them saying something about [b]“toothless white trash” to a person’s face [/b]at least.
What was also fascinating is that Alex kept making dumb decisions but it all was understandable and kind of followed from her previous circumstances... who brings a tinder date to a house you are cleaning? But she was so tired and lonely and jealous of this beautiful life others had, I can understand how she took that one wrong step (yet another one) 
Or at the birthday party how she suddenly doesn’t feel the power to say no to all those idiots ruining it for her...it’s hard to be intimidated and the less energy and stability you have the easier you give up
What was not believable is how she was allowed to serve papers on her stbx herself - you always need a third party... 
also it doesn’t look believable how Sean suddenly wants to give custody to her... and did she really have to take Maddie away from him?!

That was an "imagined" conception of what Alex THOUGHT these people were saying about her.  It's used many times in the series. Your other points are well noted, as I thought the same thing. Alex was working for a notoriously difficult person yet decided to open a bottle of expensive wine and guzzle it down, ransack her closet and don her cashmere sweater, soak in the hot tub and then invite a stranger over for random sex.

Oh ok I get it now! I must have switched my attention for a bit and not realized it was in her head.
I kind of get it why she did what she did at The House. I did a couple similarly stupid things when I was 23-25 and was lucky the fallout wasn’t too bad. 
As for why she became a cleaner - the author herself said that she (the author) needed a 9-5 while daughter was at daycare but couldn’t find a better 9-5 without college education [/quote]
