TRIGGER WARNING - Graphic suicide attempt shown. ~~ 5 fandoms ~~~ Lyrics are to be taken from the kids' POVs. http://glee.wikia.com/wiki/Barely_Bre... I decided not to type up the voiceovers. PLEASE ASK in the comments if you need me to transcribe all of them, though. Or if you just have a question about 1 or 2 of them.
This vid is intensely personal for me, as I was inspired by my own feelings toward my mother. ;) I love these 5 storylines on these shows because I can relate to aspects of them SO strongly. I am basically Lip on Shameless - he's so done with his mother I couldn't find many moments to vid with him in this. Lol. I relate so strongly to a lot of how Carter's been acting toward Lori since season 2, even if all of their history is so different from my relationship with my mom. I probably relate most strongly to Beverly/Scarlett. • Nashville: Deacon & Beverly & Scarlet... How they changed Beverly's character in season 4 frustrated me. It would've felt pretty in-character if she'd woken up from her coma being mad and blaming doctors, or Rayna, or Deacon - or maybe all of them - for causing her coma, however indirectly. Her redemption felt a bit out-of-the-blue, but I was VERY impressed throughout seasons 2 & 3 w/ how realistic and consistently, well... selfish & toxic her character was. I also find Deacon's "Look, Scarlett, your mama's a handful, we all know that. That's old news" attitude toward his sister fascinating. There's so much careful nuance in the writing on that show.
So... finding what term to use for the mothers was tricky, and I'm not sure selfish is fair or the right term, but it was the most consistent thread I found between all 5 of these moms. The kids could be saying the words of the lyrics to each one of them because they all fit aspects of this song, which I interpret to have an overall meaning of "I care about you but I shouldn't because you don't care about about me back". Moms should care about their children, care enough to try harder to beat their addictions/not abandon their children, or try to get a handle on their mental illness.
They are varying degrees of what is often called "toxic" parents/mothers, neglectful, abusive, etc. "Selfish" was the best catch-all term I could think of.

The 5 mothers included in this video:
Beverly O'Connor - mother to Scarlett O'Connor - from the TV series Nashville that airs on ABC. I used a brief clip from the newest episode, 4x03, so minor spoiler warning. :P In the series Beverly canonically has some kind of mental illness. Was it ever specified what? I don't think it was. But she also is an adult survivor of child abuse and an abuser herself.
Lianne Mars - née Reynolds - mother to Veronica Mars - from the TV series Veronica Mars. I used a voiceover from the movie too. I don't know what she becomes in the canon novels but you can feel free to post spoilers in the comments. Apparently she has a new husband and son? http://veronicamars.wikia.com/wiki/Li... In the television (and film) mediums, which are all I know, she seems to both be an alcoholic and also have abandoned her daughter in a way that is not exactly neglectful since Veronica still had a father? I don't know how to classify what she did.
Monica Gallagher - mother to Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl,& Liam - from the US version of the TV series Shameless, which airs on Showtime. In the show she is canonically bipolar, doesn't take medication, and both is severely neglectful (because her husband is as well, but I focused on just her as a mother in this vid, meaning their kids have no parents a lot of the time) and also somewhat abusive/endangering her children, like when she has Carl drive a car. (Carl is the young white boy in this vid, the one too young to be driving.)
Lori Stevens (which is just one of many aliases she's used in her life, but Lori is the one Carter knows her by) - mother to Carter Wilson (formerly Carter Stevens, before that her name was Lyndon Wilson) - from the MTV tv series Finding Carter. I only used through episode 2x12 (so season 1, and season 2a). She is the woman who raised Carter and was a genetic egg donor. She also is her kidnapper, and in season 2 especially has done some pretty abusive things to the teenage girl. She has been diagnosed with some form of mental illness on the series but I don't believe they specified what. More details are here: http://findingcarter.wikia.com/wiki/L...
and finally...
Ana Gutierrez - birth mother to twins Jesus and Mariana Adams-Foster, who got their last name by two better moms adopting them in the TV series The Fosters. http://thefosters.wikia.com/wiki/Ana_... Ana struggles with a certain type of drug addiction, I'm not sure the specific drug(s) of her choice was(/were) ever clarified on the series. She was neglectful enough to have her children taken away from her in canon, leading to Jesus and Mariana ending up in Foster Care around the age of 5 or 6, I believe.
