How did 'the bad outweigh the good'? Just because she was an addict?
That doesn't automatically make her into a bad person.
Yes, she was too gruff with Rocky at times. She never should have hit him, and she needed to grow up. I suspect she would have acted this way even if sober.
She wasn't perfect, but she loved her son deeply & raised him to be a kind, shockingly well-adjusted young man.
The real Rusty Dennis had 2 sons. The first died of AIDS, from a blood trasnfusion.
Then she has a son with a fatal, rackingly-painful super rare condition.
I'd drink too, perhaps even dabble in drugs. My God, what that woman went through watching her children suffer then DIE.
When she had her real-life motorcycle crash, she reportedly said something like this, as she lay terribly injured: "I can't take it anymore. I just want to be done." as she wept uncontrollably.
I hope she's resting in peace, with BOTH her sons at last.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
