This episode was very impactful. It was crazy emotional and had me torn between feeling sorry for Christy and feeling that she was finally facing the consequences of what she did to her children growing up. If everyone remembers at the beginning of the series, Christy never owned up to what she did to her children when she was a drunken wreck. She was too busy throwing every bad thing Bonnie ever did in her face. At one point Christy even tells her mom that she likes giving her a bad time, meaning likes throwing the fact that Bonnie was a bad mom in her face. You can see it in the beginning of this episode. Christy says at the bistro, I was telling her what a terrible mom you are...how is that any different from what Violet is doing to Christy? Even in the new season Christy lives to remind Bonnie of just how much she sucks. Violet and Christy's relationship is almost a mirror image of Christy and Bonnie. The one difference is that Christy and Bonnie talk to each other, are in each others lives but are hurts healed? Nope. Violet is spilling her stories out there for others and maybe that is how she is dealing with it, how she is healing. Christy is obviously healing by blaming everything on her mother and telling her how horrible she is. Both ways are wrong but we can't feel too sorry for Christy just because we like her and see how much she's grown. Perhaps if Christy was more forgiving of her own mother, Violet wouldn't have been so harsh.
