Uh
Gothel was straight up abusive. She constantly belittled Rapunzel and a lot of people who have dealt with emotionally abusive parents have said that Gothel was scarily familiar to them. Just because she may have held some amount of affection for rapunzel that doesn't mean could not have also been abusive towards her

Also there was that whole part where she stabbed rapunzels boyfriend and then tried to chain her up and imprison her forever. That doesn't scream "well meaning" to me

(not the anon you replied to) Ehm... I kind of think Gothel isn't really a black-and-white case. I know a lot of people who have over-protective or just annoying parents who have said that Gothel's behavior is scarily familiar to them too, so. :/

What kind of annoys me about this whole thread is people saying she was an awful person so they can't understand why someone would sympathize with her, or saying she was NOT the sympathetic character in the story. Really?? Being abusive means no one can have sympathy for you?

And honestly, the ending part is... kind of irrelevant, don't you think? We're obviously talking about the relationship Rapunzel and Gothel had for the 18 years before she tried to leave the tower. Obviously there are aspects of their relationship that were not kosher but calling it out-and-out abusive is something more open to interpretation, I think?
