After watching, I couldn’t stop crying and I just kept hugging my dogs. I kept thinking about what I would do if I ended up in Wendy’s situation—alone, broke, and trying to survive with almost nothing. And it hits even worse when you think about how our government is so inconsistent and often incompetent and not able to properly support people in crisis which makes Wendy’s situation feel even more real and scary.
The ending is bittersweet. I know Lucy getting rehomed is probably for the best since she’ll be safe and taken care of. But it still feels so painful. What about Wendy? Lucy was her only constant—her only family and source of comfort. Losing her means losing the only thing that kept her going.
But what can Wendy do? She doesn’t have a job, a cellphone or even a stable home to support both of them. She was already barely getting by and now she has to continue without the one thing that kept her going. I just hate how cruel it feels for both of them :<
