Just finished the series and I really hate Tara...


I started watching this series on netflix last week and couldn't stop. At first I really liked Tara and wanted good things for her. After she became Bryce, something just snapped for me. Really it started going downhill when all the new alters started popping up. Every time someone in her family had something important going on, she transitioned and made it all about her. Weddings, baby showers, open houses, death...ALL ABOUT TARA! Her kids and husband had a saintly tolerance and in the end I found myself wishing they left her alone, especially Max. Clearly he had just pushed his feelings down for hers for years and it was starting to make him crack. I know she was a victim of a horrible thing but she chose to have more kids knowing she would put them in that situation and then kept trying to have contact with her niece even after she kidnapped her. She was a selfish, horrible person and she was spoiled to death by her husband and kids. No way in real life her kids would have been that understanding and supportive...just seemed very unbelievable that in the end everyone is one big happy family and people always forgive Tara for conveniently ruining their life events.

Am I the only one that couldn't stand her by the end of it??

Well, the show is called United States of Tara. People with DID cannot just control it 24/7. Tara is the main character and the rest of them are a supporting cast.
