Is that why she didn’t tell Forrest that he was a father, and allow him to be part of the baby’s life? Your overly charitable reading of the character doesn’t hold water, JackbyDev
I’m not making an argument as to why folks should not view her as an asshole, I’m pointing out an aspect of the character many people overlook. If anything I’m only saying she’s less of an asshole. I haven’t watched the movie in a long time to definitively say if she truly is or isn’t an asshole. Like I said, it’s still fine with me if folks believe she is.

But she did!
…once she was literally dying and had no other choice.
