Well, there is so much Lindsay hate, and so many people blame her for "sending" Justin away, that I thought it was better to provide her with a motivation for some of what she did, ESPECIALLY taking Gus away and that whole scene in the playground which fucking broke my heart - and then have her really understand things differently.

Also, it was sort of hard to get them back home so quickly, they've only been gone 8 months or so here. I thought we needed some kind of big catharsis or that wouldn't be credible.

But hey, Lindsay is the most difficult character for me, I'm just glad everything else worked for you. :)
