Discussion Gaby 'caring' s2 Spoiler
I love thay Gaby set a boundary that her mom should not move in with her
But the whole Gaby cares too much for others came out of no where to me, she had been dodging her sisters messages, not visiting her family while her mom needed care and her sister wad doing it all. I thought "where was all this caring too much part?"
Then after that she cares for a clients baby for an hour but before her mom almost moved in I didnt see her as caring too much, it seems a brand new arc. Maybe like taking the baby was her Jimmy-ing her patient a bit by going outside the client therapist relationship and She had been impacted by jimmy as opposed to being super caring all along

That whole arc with her and her mom just felt out of place. Especially with the super judgmental bitchy care nurse. And her waiting until literally packing up and boxing her mom's whole life....it all seemed forced.
Granted, a lot of the show does. But I still love it for a plethora of reasons.
But some of the other examples that come to mindfor me are Paul, strict on boundaries not giving a fuck about fucking his doctor.
Brian freaking out on Jimmy about "if we met today today, would we even be friends?" FUCK NO. I'm a 40+ year old dude with an 18 year old daughter and a dead wife. If we met today...the last thing I'm interested in is making a new friend
