Addison's mother was a terrible person!


Some parents are cold to their kids throughout their lives, but at least it is obvious they care in some way. Bizzy didn't seem to give a crap about anyone other than herself and her lover.

She told Addison she was completely alone and had no one when Susan died, as if her own daughter was nobody to her. And her penultimate selfish act of killing herself and making sure Addison found her cold dead body on the bed was the worst. That would have had to traumatize Addison for the rest of her life. She didn't even care about what it would do to Addison, being the one to find her like that. And in her suicide note, she didn't even bother to say a simple "I love you" to her daughter, just some stupid crap about how Addison shouldn't tell the hotel staff she killed herself because it would be too embarrassing.

I'm not someone who will condemn a person for committing suicide. I understand that in a lot of cases it involves mental illness and it's not necessarily a selfish act. But in Bizzy's case, it was 100% selfish. She literally set it up so that her daughter would find her dead body, caring more about not being embarrassed in front of the hotel staff than traumatizing her daughter like that.

She was a bitch. Addison wasn't perfect either, but she turned out amazing considering that she had a mother like THAT.
