    Not really. It’s cruel if you’re viewing it from Debbie’s perspective, but let’s really think about it.

    Debbie, while obviously grieving at the loss of her marriage and the sight her son being savagely beaten, didn’t lose anyone permanently. Omniman is still alive, and she still is conflicted about her feelings towards him since she built a life with him. Mark recovered, and while emotionally scarred, is still able to live a life.

    Green Ghost’s husband has to live with the fact that his wife that he’s still in grieving over had her head caved in by an alien conqueror. Now he has to hear about how sad his ex-wifepet is with her living son and still technically living husband, who was also responsible for caving in his wife’s head. Then in subsequent sessions he would have to hear about how she still has conflicted feelings about Nolan and how she misses the good times with him and so on and so forth.

    All I’m saying is that if someone’s husband brutally murdered my spouse, and then that someone came to the brutal spouse murder support group to feel sad about their still living spouse who murdered my spouse, I can’t imagine I’d be too sympathetic.

      That is completely Not how you should look at it.

      All intensive Purposes debbie did lose her husband, even worde than that she found out he was a murderer who never loved her and saw her as a pet, Beat the shit out of her son And killed thousands of people.

      Then flew off into space, That’s basically the same thing as him dying.

        I’d argue it’s even WORSE than him dying, and Debbie even says that herself.

        She has it worse than the other people because at the very least they get closure and get to remember their loved ones in a good way

        Debbie loses just as much and never gets closure
