#I'm glad GA was able to come into her own and advocate for herself later on

The more I read about Gillian’s pregnancy the sadder I feel for her, this shouldn’t be how a mother - and a young mother at that - puts her child into the world and is constantly stressed out about how her life could turn out. When she says that the year becomes blur, it does not surprise me that there’s a lot she doesn’t remember now…
I do, too. It makes sense why Gillian struggled so much....
I was warmed to see that the crew (and cast) really cared about her, and took on more of the heavy-lifting (so to speak) to ease her burdens as best as they could. Working on television during that time sounds like a nightmare compared to modern standards. No wonder actors (and screenwriters and etc. etc.) are so tightly knit with unions: they probably needed/need them to survive. (Can you sense my incredible ignorance on this topic? XDDD)
My heart goes out, though we're probably thinking about it more than she currently is. May peace be upon her and her loved ones-- they've earned it.
#asks#anon#GA#txf#x files#xf meta#brutal working conditions#and a brutal entry to first-time motherhood#at least the crew was supportive and happy to let Piper become a regular part of their lives#it sounds like she was loved (and possibly spoiled) even if her mother was Going Through It#I'm glad GA was able to come into her own and advocate for herself later on#and putting the whole picture together... of course she would feel betrayed by CC's decisions/disregard later#even if perhaps he didn't mean x/y/z-- his actions were careless and neglectful#especially in light of their relationship and her loyalty to his show#ah well#I hope everything will be resolved between them#and that CC own his lumps and moves on to become a healthier individual#we'll see if that happens....#crossing my fingers for a Fail Better podcast entry#anyway-- I am in awe of how much of a trooper Gillian is (though I'm sure most of that stemmed from unhealthy coping mechanisms)#hats off to her
