An analysis of Mom Lalonde’s parenting of Rose:

Thinking abt how mom lalonde was basically the Line on being called abusive.

Mom Lalonde would have been fine if cps had been called, etc etc, but the thing is she was still neglectful. 13yr olds are definitely kids who’re beginning to separate themselves from their parents and fill their needs elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean that they’re able to take care of themselves on their own. Rose was neglected in a way that was invisible to most.

Likely, she would’ve been given lots of “fend for yourself” food nights, but she would still *have food* in the house.

Mom Lalonde was likely never there for Rose in any emotional capacity. If at all, she wouldn’t have been sober, and lots of times that turns it into less of “how can I help” and “here’s *my* issues as well.”

Rose was a victim of parentification, at least to a certain extent, and she was absolutely neglected, and she did not have any sort of parental figure to look up to or admire or get help from

Which, honestly, is why I think Roxy and rose have a good relationship. They were raised *the same way.* The only difference is that Rose had a ghost for a mother instead of someone who wasn’t there at all

Also wish that jade and rose had bonded over that more; they were raised in similar ways. They both *technically* had a guardian- bec and mom respectively- but they really have a person to turn to or a shoulder to cry on in a *human* way.

(Also a solid portion of this is projecting but shhhh)
