Malena Ernman on daughter Greta Thunberg: ‘She was slowly disappearing into some kind of darkness’
Guardian ^ | February 23, 2020 | Malena Ernman (Greta's Mother)

A new book by Greta Thunberg’s mother reveals the reality of family life during her daughter’s transformation from bullied teenager to climate icon

One evening in the autumn of 2014, Svante and I sat slumped on our bathroom floor in Stockholm. It was late, the children were asleep. Everything was starting to fall apart around us. Greta was 11, had just started fifth grade, and was not doing well. She cried at night when she should be sleeping. She cried on her way to school. She cried in her classes and during her breaks, and the teachers called home almost every day. Svante had to run off and bring her home to Moses, our golden retriever. She sat with him for hours, petting him and stroking his fur. She was slowly disappearing into some kind of darkness and little by little, bit by bit, she seemed to stop functioning. She stopped playing the piano. She stopped laughing. She stopped talking. And she stopped eating.

Per the article

Then Greta has her first panic attack. She makes a sound we’ve never heard before, ever. She lets out an abysmal howl that lasts for over 40 minutes. We haven’t heard her scream since she was an infant.

I cradle her in my arms, and Moses lies alongside her, his moist nose pressed to her head. Greta asks, “Am I going to get well again?”

So, this girl has many problems, and in the parents best judgement, the best thing for her is to push her out to fight global warming, rather than dealing with her issues. But that’s ok because she’s pushing a liberal cause celebre.

Is that where they are with this?

She hasn't left there yet.

Is that where they are with this?

I suspect they feel that if their daughter's descent into madness can "wake up" the world to what they see as the danger of man-made global warming, it will be worth it.

Greta Thunberg will become another Rachel Corrie. Her narcissistic parents will be given a plaque by one of George Soros's organization. They can hang it outside the door of her room, where people who pass down the asylum hallway can admire it.

She’s not right mentally, and that is sad.

And we’re supposed to embark on a generational, multi-trillion dollar save the world quest as part of her therapy?

You know what would be sad if I gave a ####?

That face at the end isn’t about global garbage change.

It’s about her immediate world when growing up ####ing her since as far back as she can remember.

The horrors she’s likely seen and known she will never unsee....which will lead to her eventual demise from suicide at an early age.

Don’t need a shrink degree to see that.

I skimmed it.

On and on and on.

The apparent solution to this child’s mental illness is the subjugation and adoration of the human race to her insane fantasies. And I do mean insane fantasies.

Sorry folks, but the destruction of the human race is not a solution to her illness OR a non existent environmental crisis.

The abuse of this child by the left is nauseating and sick.

They let her starve practically to death so that she has cardiac damage and delayed puberty.

It’s why she’s 17 but looks 12.

“She’s not right mentally, and that is sad.”

That’s why I posted this. These are her mother’s words.

No she’s further in. And with monsters that she never dreamed of in her worst dreams.

And they’re real

I’ll bet her parents keep their bedroom door locked at night

They know there’s a better than even chance of waking up to that contorted face looming over them, butcher knife in hand, screaming “HOW DARE YOU???”
