Does Beverly ever apologize to her kids/anyone?

The show has a lot of entertaining episodes but I just cant seem to finish binge watching it because of her. Shes so unbearable, controlling and manipulative(this probably has been said multiple times in this sub). She’s literally pretending that she was okay with Barry spending Thanksgiving with his girlfriend and her dad then proceed to go by her their house and force them to spend Thanksgiving at her house just so Barry doesn’t leave her to spend time with them wtf

Beverly is a textbook narcissist but played for laughs.

She does apologize and the sincerity is questionable but the show formula required her to never really learn her lesson and to immediately go back to the way she was the next episode.

IRL, she would be considered highly toxic, the whole family would.

It's a comedy though so its kind of spun for laughs.

Or she learns her lesson but gets bored with butting out and goes back to her old ways. Felt bad for Adam, she wouldn’t let him grow
