Maybe that's why she always fails to escape from a choke hold? She's hoping to starve those memories of oxygen so they die and she can forget those things ever happened.
"We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe."

I always liked PG because she is unique. The far more lonelier than Clark. Didn't she delved deep into depression post IC? The family she lost, she regained them, only to lose em to old age and a psycho.
Yup. You got it in one. I consider both those basically retconned out because... Well yeah. Both are technically not a problem in-universe (moreso than possession normally is, of course) but they're trading on the reader knowing she was once his cousin to make them extra awkward. I just don't like it.
See, Johns making her lonely and depressed and jealous because she wasn't close to Superman like Supergirl was the 2nd lowest moment in the character's history for me. But to each his own. I am glad that some Peege fans enjoyed it. I think it hurt her more than helped her.
