Noble. She had a shitload of sympathy, and your father should've had it too. She died doing the right thing. She did the right thing trying to save him, and she failed and died. That sucks, it's tragic, it shouldn't have happened. But she didn't give up and let them fuck with an innocent kid's head because she figured it was hopeless. You think your mom would want you to blame Jarod after what she went through to save him? Do ya? 'Cause I seriously doubt it. It's like saying she sacrificed herself for nothing, and that's pretty damn insulting to her memory.
[Another step forward. She hasn't missed Parker regressing to calling her mother "Mama," and if Denise needs to bully and crack her to make her acknowledge the point about her mother and Jarod, so be it. It's the only way she knows.]
She died trying to get Jarod and you out, and that's more loving than anything your father ever did for you.
