The OP stated correctly that Piper has trust issues, but realistically that makes a lot of sense. She was abandoned as a child by her mother, who up until the series she just figured didn't want her. Her father because of his work and the pain of her mother sent her away when all she wanted was for him to stay around. She craved his attention and did more and more drastic things to get it. She isn't a perfect person, she's the charmer, the manipulator, the one who knows exactly what to say when it needs to be said, that was her purpose as a character. Hate her all you like but she isn't a bad character, she works incredibly well. I love Piper! Seriously. If you read all the replies here, you'll see we all have arguments and don't spread hate. I'm actually defending her here, but sometimes others are right. Like, she is obsessed with Jason and cries a lot. But that;s it. And she does these bc she's afraid she'll lose the one she loves most. Trust issues? Well yeah, it's not easy to believe you didn't know someone you thought was your boyfriend! And her dad going away and her mum not being there contributed to it.

She wasn't good at swordfighting before, but in HoH she learns how to fight. Jason, I recall, admires her for that and how hot she looked in green shorts and beige shirt :) The boy is obsessed too.

And nobody really hates Piper here. Lately they're all saying they don't hate her much now anyway :)
