Carla + Katie
When Carla talked to Katie about needing the support and trust of your coworkers Katie mentioned that her Mum and Dad were dead and she had nobody who ever helped her, Carla claimed three or four examples to show she´s nothing special.
1. JDs dead Dad
2. her dead Mum
3. Cox physical and psychological abuse
4. Elliot psychological abuse
But in my opinion, only the examples regarding Dr Cox and Elliot are valid since that really marked them for life.
Carla was well in her late 20s/early 30s when her mother died. That doesn´t make it less terrible but it´s a lot worse when you lose your parents at an early point in your life.
Same goes for JDs father.
