as i said earlier, the character's not likeable, but that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve some sympathy. we've seen walt grow into a monster and dwarf any bad thing she's done, trapping her in an impossible situation. and while people aren't really "cheering" for walt anymore, the anti-walt sentiment is nowhere near as strong as the anti-skyler one. walt's redeeming qualities went out the window a long time ago, yet he's still more likeable? there's something wrong with our perception of them, and it can't just be chalked up to the writing.

she's just saying it affected her. what's wrong about that? and it's easier to say you shouldn't let your work affect your personal life, but that's way harder in practice, and i'm sure it's even harder when your work is seen/judged every week.
