* ''Series/{{Mom}}'': Bonnie was [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned by her mom at age three]] and grew up in the foster care system, eventually becoming [[TheAlcoholic an alcoholic]], a drug addict, and a [[TeenPregnancy teen mother]] not necessarily in that order. Years later, when her mom dies, she finds out that her mom had another family without her. Harboring resentment for her mom deserting her but keeping another child, she is advised to write a letter and read it to her mom's grave. While reading it, she recites how her drinking and drug use was "because of [her mom]", but halfway through the letter realizes that it's bulls***, accepts that her problems are her own fault, and lets her mom off the hook.
