Hopefully single moms out there do not interpret this character to be a role model. She represents damaged goods and the perpetual victim. Even when she attempts to take control of her life she is only able to lash out at Dexter and attempt to control him, moving from one excuse to another to test him with unrealistic expectations of submissive behaviors. She wants a doormat to walk on, not a real relationship with a man. I preferred Lila the psycho who actually looked into her darkness over Rita the uptight controller who is always obsessed with checking to see that Dexter is not like her ex. But, I have to applaud the success of the character's ability to make the complicated motivations of Rita's actions obvious and truthful.
