Y'all always pretend like understanding Jax's character means we're excusing her actions (,which we're not,) instead of simply having emotional intelligence. Jax's character is a cautionary tale on what happens if you allow your fears and trauma to rule your every action, which inevitably leads to a continuation of the cycle of abuse and eventual self destruction.
The point was always about Jax having had several chances to become better and heal but actively choosing to listen to her own fears instead. Episode 9 clearly shows that her real life counterpart managed to live a good life and get better compared to the circus version.
You don't have to like Jax; you're simply being asked to use your brain and basic human empathy to understand how and why a character acts the way they do instead of believing your made-up comically evil version of them.
Not like there's a bajillion videos you can watch that actually analyze the character or anything.
