“The sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle were used to mask her sense of inferiority, imo. Of course she wanted a normal family life. It’s too bad she didn’t have real friends to guide her. Daniel sent her over the edge. She was sober enough to realize that Howie was somehow involved, and blew up. Know why? Guilt. She felt guilt because she knew that if the goatherd wasn’t in her and Daniel’s life, he’d still be alive. “
Too bad she didn’t have a real psychiatrist either. I’m sure she paid enough to have seen a good one. But maybe she just wanted the drugs. She got rid of everyone who wanted her to stay sober.
I see ANS as damaged goods. Damaged from childhood. I’m not certain even a “good” shrink could have saved her from herself destruction... and self-descturctive people surround themselve with enablers.
She needed a pastor, not a shrink. If she didn’t get rid of friends who wanted her sober, than someone else sure did. It’s all about control. LOL, can you imagine if she had tried to seek spiritual guidance? Howie and crew would have imploded.
