I know that it's a little over the top with all the plot twists and everything, but I do love how from S1 on, Melinda's main issue has always been her fear of abandonment and how that's 100% connected to her Dad leaving when she was 9.

#Melinda SEEMS to have a beautiful life #but when you look closer she's RIDDLED with self-esteem issues #she feels worthless and disposable because of her Dad #she has problems being open around people because of constant bullying #and people pushing her away because of the one thing that makes her an 'outcast'#and it's just. a very refreshing take on main characters #like most of the time mc seem to have issues only if they're either directly plot related #or if they're BIG things like losing your wife and son or whatever #meanwhile Melinda is 'still' hung up on her Daddy leaving when she was a kid #which is frequently discussed with her partner - who obv never met her Dad #Her Dad wasn't abusive or anything he just. left #and it is something she will FOREVER carry around with her #like idk if I am making sense #but the fact that something so 'mundane' is being taken seriously and discussed within a show #is just. beautiful #and it's also just very nice to see a character played by Jennifer Love Hewitt #with beautiful dresses and a beautiful relationship #still be a victim of bullying - which is also something she carries around with her!#also the way you could draw the line to neurodivergency with the ghost thing #it's just so GOOD #brain watches stuff #ghost whisperer
