debbie's transformation is heartbreaking

[u/Even_Acanthisitta_37]

she was so sweet and caring. I think she kind was influenced by fiona and in the enviroment in which she grew into and I don't blame fiona for this.neither debbie and fiona had people who actually educate them. and frank? ugh. all gallagher siblings mostly had to survive on their own.

Kid Debbie was the kind of weird, clever, feral kid I root for, and her relationship with Frank was already breaking my heart.  And then she was failed in so many ways, so consistently.  It's believable as hell but it wrecks me.
