Kirsten did not accept Ryan at first, but she ends up loving him so much and treating him like he was her son <3 Kirsten is a great mom, wife, daughter, and friend to everyone around her. I also do love characters who go through their unstable phases and I loved when Kirsten went off the deep-end becoming an alcoholic and getting into a drunk driving accident. I love her marriage with Sandy so much, they are perfect together.
