re: the bolded,
Now I'm certainly not sticking up for CA, but how do we know this? She may very well be under psychiatric care, many people see a therapist along with a psychiatrist for decades, and with good reason. Some things take a long time to work through.
Unless there is inside information on this? For all I'm angry with CA for, I would never judge or pretend to know her mental condition at any time during this whole debacle, including through today. And who knows, she may actually be trying to get help? wishful thinking maybe, but I really hope she is seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist and is seeking professional help. Not holding my breath, but ........
Whether or not she can work, if she is on disability, would be up to her doctors, and if she is on disability for mental health reasons, you do have to have that diagnosis from a Psychiatrist or Medical Doctor, not just a therapist. And you have to be current in your treatment to stay on the disability.
Now, I'm the first one to be harsh on CA for many of her actions, what she knew, when she knew it, etc., but I can only speculate on why she did what she did, but I couldn't begin to say for a fact what her real mental condition is or was at any time.
IMO, MOO, etc.
