The problem with this story is always going to be the fact that she is the other woman. People can't see past the fact that she helped break up there marriage. But there are more issues here that a affair, that ended a marriage. Affairs are never a good idea regardless of the state of a marriage especially when kids are involved. Because it cause so much anger and pain. If a marrige is not working, end it. If meeeting someone else makes you question whether you are happy or not, think about it, amd if you decided you want out, get out. Then you are free to do as you please. Emilia is some way to blame cause she was having an affair with a married man, but Jack is the main one to blame. He had a wife and a child, it is funny how people always blame the other instead of the man or woman who is married. Wgf does have a sense of black and white ideas, my opinion, but Jack choose to marry Emilia. She was trying to be a parent to Will, she was just doing it the only way she knew how. Also she blamed herself for her daughters death, which is the heart of the story here! How can she be a wife, stepmom or anything when she is griefing and feel she is at fault. She is pushing everyone away cause she feel she is to blame, almost like poison to anyone. Remember what Jack say, you are hardest on the people who love you, of coause, she thinks she killed her daughter, so don't love me, I don't deserve it. Losing a child is the hardest thing anyone could ever deal with. Nobody can't have any idea how they would react in that sitution. Carolyn had a right to be angry, but she should have never acted the way she did in front of Will. He is a child and he will feel like he is at fault in this. She should have had the agruement in private with Jack and Emilia. But her acting this way she did just made everything worse. She should have also been more senstive about Isabel, it was Will sister and to say of the things she said was unforgivable. She should have at least put herself in Emilie place as a mother in that and her angry had nothing to do with the baby. Truthfully all three of them where in the wrong in this, Emilie for getting involved with a married man, Jack for the affair and his son and not understanding Emillie grief and guilt, and Carolyn for not looking past her own anger and think about her son.
