This show is literally my life!! From an emotionally/mentally abusive ex-husband, to the bipolar mother, to the going back to school. All of it!! Tears..every..single..episode. Even the subtle moments like when Alex went back to her abuser when she was vulnerable and afraid she might become her mother. The fear, the despair...OMG!! Best series ever!! I hope there will be another season where we continue to see Alex prosper in spite of the challenges that will get in the way. I swear, if Maddie turns out to be diagnosed bipolar later on with her alcoholic fighting her treatment every step of the way...I will have to ask who was the fly on the wall of my life!?!?
