I'm posting here because its my "Calgon Take Me Away" moment, a little fluff for my sleuth-fried mind (and heart).
Being that my sleuthing interests are primarily in the psychology department, I have to say that I disagree with the person who said she had a great mother. By Angelina's own accounts, her mother cried throughout her childhood about how rotten Angelina's dad was to leave her. Angelina did not feel that she could love her father without betraying her mother. This left her in a horribly conflicted position in her formative years and is one of the leading causes of Borderline Personality Disorder. I believe Angelina does suffer from this. I also saw that her mother allowed Angelina's boyfriend to move in with them when she was only 14 years old. Maybe that was to keep her from leaving to live with her dad when she was acting out?
When her mother was in the active state of dying, Angelina took off for Vietnam, a very curious time to choose for that trip. It was hardly noticed by the media because of other things going on at that time. I always suspected the real reason for that trip, and for Maddoxes adoption, was the easy acess to D-R-U-G-S. I believe her mother only lived several days, if that, after Angelina's return. N-I-C-E of her to be so thoughtful.
I believe the purpose of the kids was to manipulate Brad in their personal relationship and to manipulate her image in the eyes of the public.
There's plenty of documentation about her very disturbing behaviors. I believe her recent scarecrow look says alot about what is going on behind closed doors.
I hope Brad protects himself and their children. Thank God he has wonderful supportive family to give him a solid foundation. May they all be blessed.
Many men are attracted to these Borderline Personality Disordered women in the initial stages because they certainly do ramp up the adrenaline. But once they are caught deeply enough in the web, torture sets in. It is HELL getting out of BPD relationships; books have been written about how to do it safely and preserve your own life and sanity. Some people do not survive the experience.
Yes, I do have up close and personal experience with it; I am not embellishing.
Best wishes to Brad on his new future and here's hoping that Angelina will get the really serious help that she has needed for so long. MOO
(Darn, why can't I let a Calgon Moment be just that???)
