I think once / if Bianca introduced to The girls, they would (eventually?) notice such a difference in the way that Bianca and Ioan live - i.e. Not always nose in SM / phone / computer and doing really positive mentally and physically things, i.e. Walks, park, zoo, just generally having a natural fun time and not having a phone stuck in their face for every photo opportunity

That’s really heartwarming and great news about your babies, and I hope people reading this can take away from this that it’s always possible

Something I'm worried about is how the girls will feel if they realize they respond positively to Bianca's presence.

You know what I'm talking about? That conflictedness that many young'uns get when they're introduced to a parent's new partner, but the other parent doesn't favor that new partner: "Hm, mummy doesn't like this person and gets upset when I spend time with her, so maybe I'm not supposed to like her either to keep mummy happy."

Whether Bianca becomes a stepmother or Ioan just settles down with someone in general, I hope the kids are one day able to hold the reality that their mom won't like that new parent BUT it's OK for them to like them. Idk it's a very difficult balancing act for little ones.

Not sure what this is about But I find Mr Woofington very amusing.. I don't think my brain is working as I can't work out what this tweeter means? Anyone who's braincells are working, can you figure it?

Miracles do happen. I know someone who suffers with endo really badly. Her and her husband tried for years for a baby. They eventually after 15 years split up.
She moved away and met someone. He had had a hard life brought up in foster and children’s homes, however he did become very successful in his own field. They enjoyed the carefree life partying socialising knowing they wouldn’t be able to have children and were resigned to it.
She is 42 and her beautiful little miracle was born this year

I saw Woofington’s tweets had disappeared and couldn’t find the account so assumed it had been deleted Glad that wasn’t the case and woofy continues the good fight

I know of one family that had an AE type ex to deal with. This one got to Betty level but after a critical incident the kids went to stay with dad and his new wife (not mistress despite the ongoing allegation). They never went back, didn’t want to and the courts decided against. They were supported in their custody battle by school, social care and the police. Interestingly they said that courts were often initially skeptical of their case and bought into the ex’s tale of abandonment and abuse. But it soon became apparent they had more than a substantial case and she was lying.
The children are getting on with their life after therapy. They don’t want any more contact with their mother after trying to stay in contact. The eldest got it the worst, ended up as conciliator and carer.

I don’t think you can bundle all people with narcissistic tendencies into one bundle of narc - they aren’t all god like creatures walking around who all behave in one way.

Someone said earlier, there are lots of different ways narcissism displays itself - some people are vain and self centred (posing in front of homeless people for Insta) but generally manage to live a relatively typical life

Some people just naturally have high self esteem and have a lot of confidence - we are so used to talking about getting this as a society (esp females) but when we see it we think ‘who do they think they are?’ and people start a Tattle thread about them

Some people are very ‘fragile’ and constantly in a crisis that needs attention fed into it all the time. Always a drama, trapped in a loop of attention seeking.

The narc that is famous is a charming snake oil salesman type. But that’s a stereotype. There are lots of ways to get attention/validation

I think in 80’s and 90’s our parents were aware of this self-esteem movement and child led parenting (to move away from the corporal punishment period of parenting) and were encouraged to tell kids how great they are to feel good about themselves

Becoming an actor is all about external validation from your peers and fans. So this is open to creating an unhealthy dynamic where one moment you are at the top, and the next, at the bottom. So of course they may spend all their time trying to claw up to the top to keep their status and financially stable.

Alice is a bit of a typical brat. She was really pretty and outgoing, probably didn’t have to work too hard to get what she wanted. If she was 20yo in today’s world she would be all over SM, hanging off Scott Disick in the side bar of shame, saying controversial political crap for attention and moaning about ‘haters’. I think this is because she doesn’t really know who she is or have a purpose, she’s lost. She’s scared of being alone so builds herself a fortress of FM’s so she can live in her echo chamber, as the queen. Ioan was a doting pleb who made her his queen and pandered to her for years and years. He got her a nanny because of her health. He put up and shut up with lots of things, regressing into weird baby talk to sooth her and make her feel secure.

Comparing losing your mum and your dad cutting you off at 33 vs your 8yo going through her parents divorce is really key here - Alice is emotionally very damaged and has a very angry inner child. Ioan soothed it, and now Ella is.

Remember the scene in Stepmom when the little boy turns to Susan Sarandon and says 'if you want me to hate her, I will'. SS looks heartbroken. Though I think AE's reaction would be like 'great, thx!'

Her story has all of the elements that would normally elicit compassion in people. A now middle aged woman who went through IVF to bring two children into the world, putting her career on hold to bring the girls up whilst her husband worked away enjoying moderate success as an actor. He embarks on an affair with a woman nearly half her age and then files for divorce in order to be with her. He now has 50 percent custody of the children that she has basically bought up and the family home will have to be sold and finances will be considerably reduced.

Now if I read the above in a magazine or a woman sat next to me on the train told me that story I would feel a lot of compassion for them. I would also think the man was a complete bastard.

This all happened to Alice but I feel very little compassion for her because of her dreadful behaviour. I don’t think her husband’s a bastard, I understand his behaviour and feel some compassion for him not her.

It’s interesting that of the things that Alice wanted the most out of this situation, compassion, sympathy, pity she is no longer getting because of her dreadful behaviour. And the irony is, if she have acted in the way she abhors, with dignity, she’s have gotten the outcome she so craved.

I feel a bit bad for Alice right now (just wait and see all my goodwill evaporate with her next SM assault). It looks like she'll be all alone on NYs eve as she has no friends. That sucks. I can already see her guilttripping the girls about this, tho.

I'm also suddenly really happy Bianca is in Cali with Ioan (at least I hope she is). This means he won"t have to worry where to spend Christmas and won't be tempted to go back to the house to spend it with the kids, and get back under Alice's control.

Ah OK, so that was the first hit of dopamine. I imagine she felt the power of controlling a Twitter army gave her confidence to go into this battle.

How she treats people on Twitter is classic abuser behaviour… love-bombing everyone who agrees with her and makes her happy and then turning on people with opinions she doesn’t like with vitriol.

Please. She had those kids Thanksgiving and did nothing. She admitted there would be no real Thanksgiving dinner. If he stated he is exercising his right to New Year's Eve, then that means she is getting them Christmas Eve/Christmas Day or morning, some scenario like that. She's had them all to herself for four months. New Year's Eve is a nothing burger. Now not having your kids for Christmas morning, when Santa comes, is a big thing. It looks like she gets that.

New Year's Eve? All she was going to do was sit in her room and tweet and drink and DM her FMs, while her kids sat in their rooms on their video games and whatnot, like usual. So Alice will be with the only friends she hasn't alienated, her twitter groupies.

I'll be alone on Christmas AND New Year's! I'll also be in L.A. Question: If I keep AE company on NYE, can I have IG for Christmas?
