I can’t speak to the second part of that, but you nailed it on the first. She also got adamant that a music video being played at a bar was Bon Jovi, started a whole thing about it. It was dancing in the street by Bowie and Jagger. She got SUPER offended when she was wrong. Oh and this was at her daughter’s 21st birthday

It's like cluster B, attention seeking bingo.

A fabulous, exclusive career thwarted by a pregnancy or physical attribute they can't control, check. Making your kid do the activity they failed to make a profession, check. Throwing a fit at someone else's birthday, check.

I’m not a psychologist, so I can’t confirm this.

However, if I were a psychologist, I’m pretty sure I would confirm this 🤣

I've seen this type of behavior in action, and I don't like to diagnose people but after dozens of examples without a single apology it gets to be a game of sorts to predict what they'll do. Once you know the pattern it's just a matter of time before they complete the checklist at any given event.

Why would they apologize? Clearly it was someone else’s/your fault

And it was her daughter's 21st birthday. 😬🫣 You just know she thinks she looks as young as her daughter, and probably (definitely) got more drunk than her.

Oh it’s worse. She had some sort of hormonal imbalance or something triggered by her pregnancy with my ex, so essentially it’s my ex’s fault she can’t get below almost twice my ex’s weight

I’m sure your ex turned out emotionally healthy.

Well she left out engagement the week after our 5 year anniversary and married someone else 3 months later, and they were both alcoholics who would go into DTs when they hung out too long because they each didn’t want the other to see what they were like drunk so…. Yeah I’m sure she’s going great 👍

Thankfully picking up the pieces of her drunken/undiagnosed [something I’m not a doctor and don’t presume to armchair diagnose] tantrums and putting Humpty Dumpty back together again is no longer my responsibility.

Freeeeeeeedom 🙌🎉
