I think that Alice is experiencing a forced humility. Most of us, when our lives are drastically shook up, will eventually take a step back and reasses themselves and their life. Sometimes that means owning some behaviour on your part, or realizing what you do not have control over.
What strikes me as bizarre, is Alice's volatile behaviour when Ioan left. I think she was at that level prior to him leaving. Most people would be in shock after a life altering experience (I was).Then, after the shock you get mad, and all the other stages. But she was in that mad stage...always. There was no shock stage. The vitriolic messages and emails, the talk show and her drunken rants were unbelievable. My point is, she has no sense of humility. None. And normally I would feel sorry for a person having to go put in public when they feel like shit, but I think she's still angry. Not depressed. It's building and building. She refuses to look at herself.
I have been humbled many times in my life. I'm better for it (not Mother Teresa lol, but way less judgement). Alice just blames. It's painful to watch. What does it take for this woman to listen to what the universe is telling her over and over again?? There is a song by U2 called Mysterious ways, and one line has stayed in my head for 14 years: "If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel"
I though of a little funny thing all by myself (to keep up with all you smart asses
):
Alice lives by the 'gram but eats by the pound
*Breaking News (not)* My surgery has been bumped to the 18th because the surgeon wants to do it robotically. So, here I sit.
Like many others I am not loving B's dress, but her body, face and hair are banging.
