I wonder why can't he wrap his mind around someone who is just a Liar, a Narcissist.
He needs to meet my MIL, Even at an elderly age she will make his head spin
She is a narcissist, a storyteller, a liar, an exaggerator Extraordinaire!
It is truly astonishing how easily she lies, how quickly she moves from one lie to the next. She can become angered/enraged if confronted but bounces back from her lie and continues on.
She was an only daughter and was spoiled by her father.
She loves and hates with the same amount of passion.
She thrives on attention, any attention, good or bad...it's always about her even when giving out compliments to others somehow it manages still to be about her. :waitasec:
Maybe Casey Anthony also has Munchausen Syndrome along side with Narcissistic, Borderline, and Histrionic Personality Disorder. It is a form of extreme narcissism. :crazy:
Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP)
http://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/munchaus.htm
Munchausen Syndrome is an attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention to herself and to be the centre of attention.
In Munchausen Syndrome, this is achieved by capitalising on, exploiting, exaggerating or feigning illness or injury or personal misfortune. The opportunities for being centre of attention can be increased if feigning victimhood through alleged victimisation, isolation, exclusion or persecution is added to the equation; the Munchausen person can then depict another person (often a family member) as a victimiser or persecutor and herself as the victim. Presenting herself as a false victim is also a Munchausen trait.
In Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP), occasions for being centre of attention are created by deliberately causing illness, injury or harm to others to provide opportunities for rescue and care. Often the MSBP sufferer will work as a nurse, perhaps in a hospital ward for sick children (especially very young babies) or in a home for elderly persons, or with severely handicapped people, or as a care giver. The common thread is a victim whose is vulnerable, whose verbal skills or emotional state or mental condition prevents them from explaining what the MSBP person is doing to them and whose hold on life may already be precarious. Even if the victim survives, they cannot or will not be a witness. Because death amongst these groups occurs normally and is therefore not unusual or unexpected, her activities in causing death may escape notice for years.
Personality Subtypes
http://www.millon.net/taxonomy/summary.htm
She is probably a Petulant or Impulsive Borderline or Amorous Narcisst based on the subtypes. She is most likely a Borderline Narcissist.

The cause of this disorder is unknown, however Groopman and Cooper list the following factors identified by various researchers as possibilities:
An oversensitive temperament at birth
Excessive admiration that is never balanced with realistic feedback
Excessive praise for good behaviors or excessive criticism for bad behaviors in childhood
Overindulgence and overvaluation by parents, other family members, or peers
Being praised for perceived exceptional looks or abilities by adults
Severe emotional abuse in childhood
Unpredictable or unreliable caregiving from parents
Valued by parents as a means to regulate their own self-esteem
I suspect Casey Anthony has most of those factors.
