[quote=Anonymous][quote]I find the situation with Mrs. Drew to be heartbreaking. After all, they were raising Marigold as their own daughter for some time, until Edith took her away to Downton. It would be like someone taking away one of your own children, yet Robert and Cora don't seem particularly sympathetic. Cora, especially, seems extremely passive about the whole situation and not nearly as empathetic and compassionate toward the Drews as she she should be. I was sobbing when they showed Mrs. Drew rocking Marigold. How awful for her. Even Mr. Drew has the most compassionate way about him. Edith - she should be forever grateful for everything the Drews did for her. How can they possibly tell them to uproot their lives and move? They owe them so much. [/quote]

+1000.  I found Edith's whole give baby up for adoption, take the baby back, give baby up again, take baby back (at what 2 years??) pretty horrifying to begin with.  But this turn of events is practically sinister.  Oh gee thanks for covering my ass for years, I'm just going to emotionally gut your wife and then kick you off the land you've been cultivating for a century.  I really don't see why folks think Edith is somehow the "sympathetic one."  Really, she is just utterly selfish, the sad-sack version, and Mary is utterly selfish, the glam version.
