But she did!
...once she was literally dying and had no other choice.
I'm not making an argument as to why folks should not view her as an asshole, I'm pointing out an aspect of the character many people overlook. If anything I'm only saying she's less of an asshole. I haven't watched the movie in a long time to definitively say if she truly is or isn't an asshole. Like I said, it's still fine with me if folks believe she is.
Yes, trama can cause people to not be truthful or give big news because the fear of retaliation
Yeah well we can try to understand each other and our motivations and what makes us human or we can simply judge others and get angry and call people names. Jenny thought Forest was mentally retarded (to use an antiquated term). So no she's not going to pursue a relationship and no she's not gonna entrust her child to him even tho objectively she should have she simply did not have the perspective the audience does. So she made a lot of bad decisions because she never was shown the right ones. And at least she learned from her mistakes.
Honestly, with that reading I think she didn't tell him, because she didn't want to be a burden to him, especially when he got somewhat "successful". She only told him after she was dying, knew she couldn't abuse him for long, if ever. On top of that, where would the sun actually have gone? Doubt her relationship with her parents or her family was anywhere close to stable, so she chose someone she knew would love and care for the child. The other option probably would've been foster care, which, as most probably know, is a horrible experience
