Yes this, you have worded it much better than I felt like I could so why I didn't. Its alien to me for people to say they love another person like the hardest ever, Its alien to me for people to love someone then 5 minuets later to love a different person like the hardest ever.
Maybe its just me, I think there needs to be time between relationships, there are so many different stages to go through.
I can only go on what she has shared, no idea about her relationships before her girls, but she had an affair with their day, split and very soon was with Edie's dad, then had an affair with Josh, so it comes across as you say she has hardly been this warrior single mum.
I feel like she wants everything others have and loves a bit of keeping up with the Joneses. Or is it keeping up with Astrid or Emily etc
