(Anonymous) 2014-01-11 04:49 am (UTC)(link)There's no question that Buffy makes a lot of mistakes in the series, but in later seasons the supporting characters do a completely shit job of forgiving or offering support. Willow moves into Buffy's house and doesn't assist with the finances at all even as Buffy is drowning under bills. Xander is judgmental as fuck throughout. (One of the great moments is when he's berating her for her difficult decision to kill Anya and she finally points out, "I killed ANGEL." Girl has had a miserable life.) And then Giles, her father in all but name, abandons her in her greatest time of need.
I love the Scoobies, but day-um. They all needed lessons in basic friendship. (RIP Tara, who was the only one who ever got it.)

(Anonymous) 2014-01-11 09:08 am (UTC)(link)Speaking as someone who was dealing with grief depression after my father's (only parent's) death and having difficulty even getting myself to call the Veteran's Administration about his benefits afterward, let alone dealing with the rest of his estate, final bills and taxes, etc., I can say I'm really puzzled by the somewhat heartless opinions raised upthread that Buffy as a 20-whatever-year-old, should just "deal" with having a little sister to parent, bills she was drowning under, and Saving the World after her daytime scuzzy job, not to mention the Heaven/Hell undead thing.
I don't necessarily blame Giles if he wanted a life of his own, but if his only motivation was making her "grow up," then, boy, did he miss the mark. I am a grown-up with no kids and a regular job and no financial woes, and I couldn't have gotten through that time without the full support of my friends, which Buffy's certainly were not (supportive, that is). Grief is hard. Depression is hard. Life is fucking hard sometimes, and telling people to just suck it up is not the path to health.
IMHO, anyway.
