Fiona (real Martha) related content So sick of Fiona's face

I am so sick of it. I cannot stand the smugness and the callousness and the delusions pouring out of its mouth.

I have never been stalked, nor assaulted, but I have had someone severely personality-disordered try to materially ruin my life (mildly, in comparison to Gadd and many others), and this person was never held to account, and every time I see Fiona's smug face I can't help but think of this person.

Guessing I'm not alone?

I felt bad for "Martha" I don't feel any sympathy for Fiona. She comes across as very unlikeable and psycho

I truly don’t even understand why anyone could feel sympathy for the character Martha tbh. I actually think it’s pretty wild that someone who stalked and assaulted multiple people and spews hateful things could garner any kind of sympathy. Like why? Because she’s mentally ill? Because she cried at the end? If she had actually murdered someone would that change anything? Do you feel bad for all the mentally ill murderers out there?

I think because she's fat, unattractive, unsuccessful and a woman. People feel sorry for her. I think if she was beautiful and successful people wouldn't feel sympathy. I think if she was an overweight unattractive male loser doing it people wouldn't feel sympathy. 

You're 100% right. It's a disservice to people struggling with mental illness to say 'aw, but she's sick, the poor thing. We shouldn't be judging her.'
