Runaways

I hate Adams and Parks. Such uninteresting characters.

There are a lot of kids like the one in this episode. My daughter works with children whose parents are on drugs or, even worse, in prison. Anyone can be a parent. There are no restrictions or rules. Some of them have no moral or ethical sense.

When Mom shows up, it's easy to see why the girl is not going to believe anything she says because she was forced to be the adult in the family, to cook, to clean, to deal with her mother's vomit.

So if this were a normal drama we would see the two of them embrace after all this time. There is not always a feel good ending to such a dramatic situation.
