It was complicated. Didnt seem that way at first I guesss, but in the long run, kids are not chairs, so there would have needed a lot of explaining to do. I understand Paris' resentment at Debbie, but fact is, she's not the only one responsible for the situation. I hope she'll understand better when she's older, and again, I do hope Debbie will get a chance to explain what happened; she's the only one who should IMO, because she's the only one who truly knows.
Apart from the connection with Michael, I respect her as a woman to agree to "sacrifice" 2 years of her life for a friend, even though she didnt want kids (despite the money she got, it's not like buying someone a necklace) ; I respect her for not pretending to be a mother when she didnt want to be one.
