I’ve lived around crazy people; I have bene around some real insane people and I am frank when I tell you that I grew up in a chaotic, controlling, cultlike environment. I’ve had mental issues and I know what it’s like. Put frankly she could have gotten help and she had the ability to leave when she had the chance instead of killing her kids.
Some people are stronger than others. She obviously felt like she couldn’t get out of her situation. some people also have strong support somewhere.
Only God knows why some people “crack” and others don’t.
It is good to hear you made it through and it must have not been easy for you. thanks for sharing...I am sure it will help others who struggle.
Having been around insane people, you know that they often don’t understand that what they’re thinking and doing doesn’t make sense. And, of course, women who stay in abusive relationships have baggage coming into the relationship that make them willing to stay even in horrible situations which only adds to their delusions of what “normal” is.
