I'm really angry at Daryl

I still disagree, I'm sorry. I don't think Rebecca needs to be treated with kid gloves when there's an actual kid involved.

Admittedly, my feelings on this stem from a somewhat personal place. I was adopted, never knew my biological family, and I can't help but imagine how I'd feel if I found out that my mom had actually adopted me from one of her best friends, and that friend had never even acknowledged that I existed even while having a peripheral place in my life. That would be devastating, and I can only assume that Darryl was thinking along the same lines. Given that Darryl and Rebecca have a personal relationship, it would only be a matter of time before Hebby found out and had questions.

I also think you're highlighting Darryl's selfishness while down playing Rebecca's. The only completely innocent party in this scenario is Hebby. Rebecca having a mental illness doesn't absolve her of all responsibility for her actions. Whether she should have, she wasn't going to her therapist with this, and no matter how fucked up she was at the time, there's a baby now. And after the last episode, I think she's actually kind of okay with that.
