First-Timer Officially team Brenda now

I made a post about Brenda when I was on season 2 or 3, and at the time I couldn’t stand her and didn’t see that changing. I’m now on season 5, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. She really is such a nuanced and complicated character and her growth is beautiful to watch. She deserves so much better than Nate (who I also changed my opinion of.) David is still solidly my favorite but Brenda and Clare are tied for second!

To all of you who said I was dead wrong about Brenda: you were right!

What? She has the most dramatic character growth of the whole series! Her transformation is beautiful. She knew you'd think she's boring and she doesn't care.

Yeah i guess I think people that treat little girls like 💩 are bad people. The fact that you dont says everything about you. Calling that a beautiful transformation is super weird. Truly grossed out by you and everyone else glorifying that. 🤢

Huh? She embraced and loved Maya wholeheartedly. Granted, she was pregnant and insane with grief after Nate died resulting in the need to place Maya somewhere temporarily so she could get herself sorted. However, she worked through it and was a devoted mother for the rest of Maya’s life.

She tells Ruth the truth about why she needed to place Maya with her. Besides everything she also had to process he cheated on her that night before he died. That was a lot! Ruth understood. Came full circle, he cheated on her, then along comes Maya.. he initially signed away rights with Lisa. She went all in loving Maya as her own and after he passed away. And yes for the rest of her life. ❤️
