Ok, I'm trying to think. Difficult folks, very difficult, but I'm trying!!!
My Mom has this awful habit of talking nonstop when she's nervous. What comes out of her mouth, who knows, and it always ends up shocking those around. She's never done drugs, isn't an alcoholic, no mental health diagnosis, yet she can say some wild stuff, and later have no memory of the conversation. She did that when her Mom died, and we kept trying to talk sense into her about rushing the funeral, etc. Money wasn't the issue. She had watched her Mom unresponsive for a week before death, and she was frazzled. In the mean time, her landlord wanted the house cleared out to rent to someone else, so even though legally the rent was paid, and there was no way he could have made her move the stuff, I get a call at almost 9pm stating everything needed to be out of the house ASAP! Meaning, get here NOW! Well, it was done. House cleared, and Mom still fusses about it a year later, because she felt Grandma's things were disrespected, and not gone through with respect, and things got thrown away, or stolen, etc. There's no reasoning with her. It was a traumatic event for her, and the reasoning behind her actions do not make sense, but it is what it is.
I have an aunt, and an aquaintance that isn't a friend, anyway, both of them will lie just to lie. There will be no reason at all for the lie, and out it comes. You can question them to the cows come home, and they'll never admit it's a lie, and never tell the truth about whatever the event is. The more you question, the more the lies. It makes no sense, it's exhausting to talk to them, but it's true, they just lie. One recently was lying to me about a workman's comp claim. She has a torn ACL and several other ligaments in the knee, and a cracked knee cap. I read the MRI results so I know that much is true. HOWEVER, her working 8 hrs with that injury is bull. Yes she's working it, BUT, obviously the doc's report wasn't given to the employer or something. A company cannot make you work without a doc's release that you're able to work. And I was with her when the doc said no more than 4hrs and so many hours per week, no prolong standing, or walking. She works for Walmart. Now maybe she needs the money, thus is working while injured, but, she's not telling the truth about the whole thing. They can't make you work more than the doc's order says! That's just one example. Another, her cat disappeared, now she can't tell me if the cat is neutered or not. I kept saying it was 'tom catting' time and he'd show back up. Nope, insisted someone came into her yard, and must have killed her cat because she hasn't seen it since that person was there. Guess what? A week later the cat is back, but she failed to tell me that tidbit.
So, my point being, maybe some of Tania's talking is due to either of the two I mentioned above combined with drug use. While I'm not excusing her behavior, and not saying she is a good Mom, I'm only saying that her statements that don't make sense, don't add up, etc., might be her normal. Throw in the stress of having a child murdered, the other child removed from the home, police there daily, all but a handfull of the community wanting you arrested, knowing LE is watching your every move so if addicted to any drugs, that's going to be a problem of how to get more, etc., and she may be in shock, or under so much stress that she doesn't even know what she's saying or doing. She's going through the motions, but isn't there.
JMO!!!!
