No one was 'right'
Jane, Kenny. Both! Both are terrible. Kenny lovers can argue about Wellington existing all they want, but at the heat of the moment you have to admit Wellington sounded just like the boat. Jane was bad as she kept pushing a man who lost everything even further to prove her 'point' she kept escalating the situation further and further which isn't a good thing to do. In the end who you pick isn't about who is right, it's about what you want Clem to be viewed as:
Kenny views Clem as Duck 2.0
Jane views Clem as the sister she wished she had
In a way, both of them are trapped in the past. Both trying to correct their mistakes.
Oh and to add to this, I didn't have Clem wander off on her own, I picked forgiving Jane, I felt if she was willing to put her life at risk several times over to both protect Clem and show her how far Kenny had sunk then she does have at least some point. She clearly cared about Clem and the baby, she just was trapped with a bitter memory of the past like Kenny.

Everyone in The Walking Dead Universe is horrible in a way, most have gone far from who they once were.
I think Jane sees the value in Clem not being a burden like her sister or Sarah or some other useless fuck that just drags you down to die eventually. Jane wouldn't like Clem if she wasn't a tough girl who could look after herself. Sure, there is a little sister-stuff involved in there, but that just helps to soften her up enough to actually care for Clem.
It's interesting if you compare that to Duck and how Kenny raised that boy to be a whiny wussy.
Duck was mentally challenged. Likely was autistic. Of course, I can't say with 100% certainty that he is as the game never outright states it, but there were enough hints that pointed to it. So you can't blame Kenny for the way Duck was raised. Plus, Kenny also mentioned something about not being there all the time for Duck when he was growing up, because he was too busy working as a commercial fishermen.
The more I think about my ending (Wellington and leaving Kenny) the more I think that actually, I should have just left both of them and walked through that walker field. After all that, did Kenny deserve the satisfaction of letting Clem into Wellington? Did Jane deserve the satisfaction that Clem had the power to kill someone? I don't really think either of them redeemed themselves in their endings, which makes it all the more depressing because none of the endings is a "happy" ending
Which is why I want Clem to return. Her journey is not over!
Fair enough. I still consider Kenny to be that kind of guy who puts others into the state of needing him (cause he's da man) instead of teaching them how to get along for themselves. Even if Duck was somewhat autistic, doesn't mean that he had to be that helpless and dependent boy.
Sarah as an example was similar in this matter. Carlos obviously totally failed to raise her accordingly and she ended up being more of a burden than anything.
Jane (as well as Lee) understood the importance of self-sufficiency in these circumstances, Kenny didn't. That's why you never see him teaching anyone anything, not even Clem, but always tries to make everyone dependable on him (taking leadership, fixing cars and trains to decide where to go, etc.). At one point in the last episode he briefly mentions his own (sob) father that taught him how to get along, but he never passed that on to others.
Yeah I forgave Jane. Not sure about which ending I should do it just felt right
I agree. Both are mad. I killed Kenny and left Jane.
