    Let's be real: Is Fiona the hero who just reached her breaking point, or did she eventually become just as destructive as Frank and Monica? I’m dying to hear your hot takes—was she a saint, a victim, or just another Gallagher destined to blow it all up? Drop your thoughts below! ❤❤

    Being the one who cares for everyone and not having anyone who cares for you is such a horribly lonely place in life. It takes a lot time to heal from that and find a self worth being.

    Raising all her siblings should never have fallen on her. She's the only reason they're still alive. Kids of addicts are traumatized - messing up relationships and job opportunities is par for the course. I swear the Internet spends more time ripping Fiona apart than they do holding Frank or Monica accountable.

    What bothered me the most was when Fiona got arrested, Lip blamed her. Yes, she should’ve been more careful but the real reason why he was upset was because if Fiona wasn’t there, he would be the next parent. He would be the one taking care of everyone. He didn’t want that. He only saw Fiona as the parent because well, that’s the role she took on. She didn’t have a choice. <br><br>A lot of people think she was wrong for giving Debbie the money and the control over the share. <br><br>I think in some way, she was passing the torch of being the only woman who cares. The only female Gallagher with the pressures of keeping the family together. The only woman who was expected to do it all and ask for nothing in return.

    Fiona is the perfect example of exploiting a woman all the time, expecting the best from her all the time. <br>Meanwhile she&apos;s alone, she doesn&apos;t know who she is beyond the caregiver and peacemaker roles. <br>She doesn&apos;t know how to care herself bc she was occupied caring for ungrateful and exploitative others. <br>She deserves the best after trying her best ans sabotaging herself without knowing it.

    How Fiona haters glaze Frank and Lip is still wild to me. Lip quitting school bc he&apos;s too lazy while Fiona quit school so Lip didn&apos;t have to worry about their siblings as much and focus on school.

    Bro i HATED lip in the last few seasons, especially when he accused her of ruining the DCFS visit with xan, she had NO PART in that, she was in her own house doing her own thing, she tried to cover for lip and in return he became cruel and heartless

    Funny, I also spiraled when I didn&apos;t have to constantly save my family from crises. I couldn&apos;t watch this show bc it hit too close to home. Peace felt crazy wrong for a long time.

    With Fiona, she did self sabotage but she was only human and in my opinion the show wasn&apos;t the same after she left. Emmy should had been nominated for at least one Emmy now I love William F Macy but she was the heart of the show. &nbsp;It irk me that when Fiona was spiral out of control nobody was there for her. I would leave that money to V and Kevin not Debbie

    I was the Fiona and it destroyed my life. Lost everyone I cared about either because I let them down or I resent them beyond words. I lost my life to over responsibility. And all I want to do now is try to build a new one. And leave this life far far behind.

    To me fiona was a victim she never had a childhood due to having to take care of her siblings at a young &nbsp;age because her parents were a mess and the other members of Monica frank refused to help like lip and frank fiona self sabotage herself because she believes she doesn&apos;t deserve to have stability and love i totally connect with her because i grew up in a dysfunctional environment
