Unsympathetic
I heard someone say here on the message boards that this was "A sad, haunting story..." I think that's pretty ironic. Wanda was probably the greatest flake in film history, but she was also responsible for causing more damage than suffering it. I guess because there was another woman to take care of her abandoned, young kids, we aren't supposed to dwell on that...
She was so drunken, enabling, pathologically irresponsible, and, frankly, stupid it was hard to feel a lot of sympathy. I mean people from the Appalachians or rural parts aren't necessarily idiots despite the stereotype; she made horrific choices, wallowed in them, and then got saved time after time by a fluke but learned nothing. She wasn't relatable or interesting. She probably should have gone to prison to knock some sense in her head. At this rate she will wind up stuffed in a dumpster. Unless she's mentally unstable, which is not really hinted at specifically, she's kind of hateable.
