We're already seeing the damage control this season - Jeanette confronting the hater, gaslighting Jazz into thinking that "trans" has nothing to do with him being depressed, not calling his massive weight-gain binge eating. Off screen we know Jazz has said that Jeanette did not want to reveal that his surgery was botched etc.I'd have to agree with you. Never underestimate a narcissist parent's disappointment when a child doesn't do what they want. She invested too much for Jazz to become "happy" and now Jazz has failed her being the mess he is. He's the one making her look bad.
When parents feel guilty for failing at being parents, this is not what they would be like. It's a terrible realisation that something you did hurt your kid, that really, really hurts and could destroy you. We see none of that here. Sure, Jeannette could be on denial, but I think she doesn't feel bad because Jazz's life is ruined but because she was wrong about him and she's the one being on the spotlight and blamed her for what Jazz has become. It's her ego what's been hurt, not her job as a mother. That's why she seems so indifferent, she's unable to feel Jazz's pain, only her own. It's not that she doesn't care about Jazz, but she cares more about herself.
Poor Jazz if he fails out of Harvard, something he wasn't ready for either way. We'll see if they'll hold his hand enough for him to get a useless degree.
