OKAY I didn’t read through much of it so I wasn’t sure if either of those were ever addressed!
It’s almost unreliable narration the way Liz is presented, I’m sure that was super tough for her but what’s shown in comic is ultimately just the positive stuff. Maybe that’s for tone reasons but, yeah, definitely leaves an incomplete picture, made more incomplete by her not posting for long periods 😅

To be fair, there was a whole story arc where immediately after Mae told her, she had a panic attack and was involuntarily committed.
The trouble is that it then goes into a “trapped in the psych ward” plot, resolves nothing (explicitly showing Liz as indignant that she didn’t actually get any therapy while she was stuck in there), and then pinballs between them planning to have a second baby before Mae starts HRT and “normal” comics about video games and whatnot, with Liz appearing fully-adjusted and supportive. It’s hard not to think there wasn’t significant drama left out.
