Sadly I wonder if "I felt the need to be extreme to see if it would work" meant the stabbing was a cry for help, for her family to take her back and get her grounded and perhaps working in some ordinary job?
I wonder why she held on to the delusion of having/chasing a financial sector job for 10 years? I mean, why not give up on that, move on, take a job as an admin assistant somewhere and work your way up to something?
Somebody put a lot of money into her education. Perhaps her parents expected her to make it big and wouldn't accept anything else and this strange situation ensued?
I don't think RB was crazy enough to not understand the difference between right and wrong, and I think this was all a very sad cry for help.
I think it was likely due to compulsions or an impulse, like she had the encompassing need to try something extreme to see what would happen. But get away with it, quiet the voices (if she had them) or release her from the obsession, I don't know.
IMO she held on to her old self because that's who she was. People with mental illnesses often struggle a great deal with identity and letting go of who they once were and that's with professional help. Did she have any?
If she is ill with either bipolar or schizophrenia (or other) there is likely nothing her parents could have done or not done to make her sick or prevent her from becoming sick.
Have you ever heard of stabbing and murdering someone as a cry for help? Just curious.
I think one woman is very ill and another woman is dead.
Sad, awful, tragic, cruel, heartbreaking.. I've run out of words.
