I LOVE that show! But I guess I never looked at her through that lens...I'm looking forward to the new season coming out soon (if it isn't already out). I adore how skillfully they deal with so many issues. She is so great in so many ways, but so inexplicable in others!
Several years ago, I read a book loaned to me by a therapist called The Borderline Mother. It was quite illuminating, but I probably could do a bit more reading to really get the picture.
Anxiety is my MO.
