Wow, that was one bad mother. SPOILERS


Was anyone else incredibly disturbed when Karen met her birth mother for the first time? My god what a retched woman.

I thought it was awful...but so true to life! My mother is adopted and I am so glad she never had any desire to find her birth mother. I'm so happy with the Grandmother I have!

~ I thought Karen was being very stupid for looking for her real mother. I was so glad that Karen saw what that woman really was. Karen kept bitching at Charlie and her mother about how her life could of have been totally different if she made different choices. What was there for Keren to bitch about?. I mean she is healthy, and she haves a beautiful healthy family. Also a job and a lovely home.

Karen was a pretty huge b!tch, but I tried to look at it from the other side. It would be so hard to find out you were adopted when you were into your 30's. I would want to know who my birth mother was and why she gave me up. I think it depends on the person. In my opinion, Karen was very mean about it, though, she spent a lot of time yelling at her adoptive mother when she was an awesome parent and essentially saved Karen's life by adopting her.

Ever hear of the phrase, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? Karen imagined that she was missing out on a fantastic other life.

I agree. But it was good for her in the end.
With the realisation that she really had it good.

What did she say to her exactly I walked in just as they were finishing up the conversation. It was bugging me that I missed it????
