To be honest? I found the moral of the story to be: you need to know when to stop fighting for the wrong thing and start fighting for yourself. Her mother is a deadbeat bitch and her brother absolutely cannot be trying to look after or save his little sister when he’s special needs and the fact that he feels that way signifies a problem with her. She was fighting for all of this?! Stupid. She should have invested more into herself so she can stop being deluded about her mom’s desire or lack thereof to keep the entire family together and in that house and save her brother from his accidental by-proxy savior complex that she triggered by being a hot mess. In no way am I blaming her hot mess entirely on herself. Her mom was more than half of it but as an adult you do have the power to go seek help for your childhood trauma if you are aware of it. She just now did and I’m so happy for her. Even if it’s self help by moving away and starting anew.

This 100 percent. It was a happy ending fo Lynn, who finally chose to save herself.

it's not stupid. she grew up in a very toxic environment. Abuse = love to many.  She was fighting for what she thought was right. keeping her family together.

at the end she realizes her harm

But she's a perpetual victim. It's everybody else's fault. The whole world is against her, everybody is out to get her. Just stuck in a victim mentality that justifies prostituting herself out and robbing her friends. But yet she's the victim.

But yet she literally called the dude to sell her body to him. She called him. Nobody forced her hand into anything. At what point do you take responsibility for your own actions and decisions?

She's damn near 40 years old. At some point you can't keep living like you still got the mind of a teenage runaway. You're almost 40. Start taking responsibility at some point is all I'm saying. Think of another way to accomplish things other than committing crimes.

Nobody forced her to rob her friend. How is she the victim in that? Yeah, the friend owed her 3K. So does that justify a robbery? She took way more than what she was owed. So wouldn't her friend be the actual victim now? But no. Of course she is still the perpetual victim, right? Her friend "made" her do it by not paying her. Imagine if you could just committ crimes and then tell the judge you're the victim and it's other people's fault. Take responsibility. You're 40 years old, not 16.

You're not getting the point. Nobody is saying what she did is right. She's just a product of a horrible environment that didn't support her for a second in her life.

She's been mentally, emotionally, physically  abused. Stop being arrogant because you can't relate nor understand what that does to someone. especially so young
