Lost my sympathy for her in the end

I don't know. Anything can happen in life. Her son was old enough to know. After he complained of her in his fit of understandable frustration, he still had to be taught the truth. Simon was a little punk bitch and this entire, "blame it on biology" is BS. Bitch, please. Either way...the boy had to learn. Why would the mom let her son think his dad is "the fun one" after everything he had done...sometimes in life you just have to learn.

I've seen only one episode, but how anyone can have sympathy for this woman is beyond me.

She is immediately suspicious of her husband, without, apparently, having any prior reason to be. A long blond hair on his scarf and it sets off paranoia? She follows him, checks his phone, searches his car, suspects all her friends? I think that says more about her than about him.

And then she bribes a patient with drugs? And threatens another person that she will forward his medical records? Not exactly covered in the Hippocratic oath. I think the older doctor -- Jack -- was right, not only about her, but how medicine was being practiced in that clinic.

I never really had a ton of sympathy for her to begin with. I mean at first...at the very first, when we realize her world is destroyed, in the first episode; I was just shredded for her. But it soon became very clear that she is a different kind of person she is, as she said clever. And while it's true she did a lot of stuff that was kinda messed up, it made for excellent television. I loved actually that she was this fully fleshed human being...warts and all. And honestly, you don't know what you'll do when you get divorced. Most people I know who to get divorced at some point in the process lose sight of the fact that their children are the priority, at least for a bit. They are looking for compensation for their pain, which is a completely natural and human response. Unfortunately, the forms this sort of self-centeredness takes is often damaging to children. I like they didn't try to turn her into a saint who rises above it all, the show really dug deeply into human frailty and revenge and grief and anger and love. It was an emotional thriller from which no one got out with clean hands.

Dr. Foster seems to me to be about a person whose first relationships are violently taken from her when a child. In her adult life, a second loss , equally profound, presents itself. Being no longer a powerless child, she takes steps to communicate the depths of her pain to the man she holds responsible. She is successful and that is catharsis for her. Insightful, but not pretty. Well worth this viewer's time.

She was fully justified in all she did to her piece-of-shit husband. He created the entire situation in the first place. She was the victim. It was satisfying to see him get his.
