Would you say she had a borderline personality? Could she have suffered from schizophrenia? Multiple personality disorder? She seemed unhinged, although incredibly beautiful (in her natural state...not all painted up and in bizarre dress). I’m no psychiatrist so apologies if these terms are used inappropriately. But you get my drift. I think something was quite wrong in her head and the drugs were her gone haywire attempt at self medicating. Thanks for reporting on what you’ve read.

Yes...I do think ANS suffered personality disorders in addition to being an addictive personality. Donald Hogan was an alcoholic so she came by those genes honestly and eventually her addictions caused her to lose her life.

ANS could be very sweet and loving one second but if crossed she became very hateful - you saw this on the video where she addresses her mother as mommie dearest. ANS was known to ice out anyone she fell out with whether it was personally or professionally.

ANS definately self medicated to help her to cope with living.

I think what we saw is very common in women who have been sexually abused as a young child... add to that a family predilection to alcohol and drugs (she was Marilyn Monroe's cousin after all and her father had alcohol problems) and you have a prescription for what we saw ....

I just really fear for Dannielynn down the line. It can be overcome, look at Drew Barrymore -- she inherited the same type of genes as Dannielynn and at first overcome by the same demons before getting her life and head straight. Her father, grandfather, etc., were not all so lucky.
