I think she uses real life events that are upsetting to cover up the fact she’s deeply miserable... her marriage, her weight, everything. I feel sorry for her, she doesn’t seem to have ANY friends or even one best friend. No one from school or even work. Her inability to form close lasting friendships, relationships must be so lonely. BUT on the flip side she makes NO effort to forge these relationships/friendships. I’m close to my mum, see her all the time but I have my best friend who I go out with, girlie nights in and out, weekends away etc. I don’t understand her. She has NO ties, no responsibilities! I don’t know why she’s so afraid to let anyone in, OR why she’s so afraid to leave Neil and forge a life on her own. I bet she would be so much happier.
