From college, I had to take political sciences & because of it I still study it today. I remember when I did a research paper, we were given the choice to have a debate paper on which ideology is better in your opinion. Liberalism or Conservativism. You could also pick what kind of each since there are different opinions on each side. I chose conservatism because I was interested in the traditional family part of it rather than like 2nd amendment, republic (state governments), & so on.
I remember when I was doing research on it, I came across data talking about the shift from traditional family lifestyles to deconstructed ones. From the 60s - 70s, traditional families were starting to become deconstructed. For example, the first groups in LA then would eventually turn into gangs because boys from families either rebelled against conservative norms or fathers just started to leave them so they became fatherless which made them become thugs. Another would be the sex revolution of the 70s & 80s where people started to fornicate like crazy which broke up the families even more. I actually know a family from the suburbs where the kids of the parents left them with their kids to take care of, and the kids are being raised by their grandparents rather than their parents. The father left them for some life & the mom isn't around because she is stuck working two jobs. The father of the mom is an alcoholic and hates his life because his relationship with his wife is falling off due to her being a teacher and constantly taking care of her kids kids'.
The reason this is important is because your childhood is so important. If Rose's parents were of a similar behavior of the example above, then there were only rare occasions that she formed any kind of relationship with her parents which became short-term and lost over time. This can result in physiological developments that can have a hard time reversing due to the fact she has been neglected during childhood and teenage years, you add the abusive boyfriend, it's even worse.
Any kind of help results in denial & projection. I have had many friends even before Rose who were like this, 9 out of 10 of them being female. They choose to be ignorant to their issues & won't break out of their comfort zone to get pass them. Instead, we are left with a battleground where it's a free for all in her mind. Her helpers are annoying, her stalkers are assholes, and any one around her, she doesn't care about.
