I read the creators confirmed her mom is a drunk off screen.

I still remember the episode where her father realizes that she's miserable all the time by looking through old photos.

Did that really need to be confirmed? She was pretty clearly wasted the vast majority of the time she was onscreen.

looking back at Hey Arnold, it's almost like they were fortune tellers.

Masculine Lawyer Mother emasculates Feminine Pushover Dad and create a daughter that everyone abhors because she's clueless as to why no one likes her masculine ass. Oh yeah, their family was also miserable.

Random off topic question. Did Arnold ever find his parents? (I remember he found a journal with a map)

He found something regarding their location, but I don't remember if it ever got beyond that before it was canceled.

They were going to make a movie about Arnold finding his parents, but never went through with it

He finds a map or something hinting at where his parents could be. So, he sets off to the jungle. It's never confirmed if they were alive though.. Have to be some good excuse they give if gone all those years.

Eh?
I don't remember her mother ever being masculine, and I would protest that her father was portrayed as feminine.

To me it just seemed like she was too depressed and he was too proud to notice much around themselves. Also they produced a perfectionist daughter as well who was plenty feminine.

I'm confused as well

I think Helga was going to get a spinoff with a more mature storyline or something.
