I found it more realistic that she turned inward and hid from her problems (Fats) and internalized her pain. Although you can understand why other characters acted the way they did with their backstories, it seems like her reaction is probably far more common to not tell anyone how she feels and become more and more isolated.

I disliked Ruth Price because as horrible as some of the other characters' actions were, her inability to leave Simon or protect her children is the worst kind of cowardice. I disliked Gaia as she didn't seem as fleshed out as the other characters. She mainly acted as a device for Andrew's plot, but very little was known about her other than her beauty and normal teenage angst. (less)
