I get that she was a victim. I get that. What happened to Gillian was horrifying and while it, to an extent, explains why she ~is the way she is~ it doesn’t justify what she has done and is still doing.

I stopped feeling sorry for her when she continues the cycle of abuse that was perpetuated upon her and then began to victimize her own son, thus emotionally crippling Jimmy and royally fucking up his entire life/psyche. 

Sure, Gillian has moments of being a fierce bitch and again I’m not downplaying the fact that she went through some horrible shit, and also that she had a baby when she was literally only a child herself. I GET ALL OF THAT. 

Guys, this isn’t a sexy relationship. It is the same thing as shipping 13-year old Gillian with 50+ year old Commodore. Jimmy is a victim. I’ve never been terribly fond of Gillian’s character, and I think that this episode finally made it clear why, and vocalized all the horrible, toxic, fucked-up qualities that make up her relationship with her son.
