Erm, who's at home with the kitty? Who, WHO?

ETA: I'm just realising I've been confused on what "narc" is for a long time. I thought it was like a snitch or something, like a policeman working narcotics undercover who'd then turn around and bust everyone. But it's narcissist, right? *Face palm gif of choice*

That photo of the wet kitten is really disturbing to see. The kitten is cute as anything but to see its poor legs like that is really sad. I love my cat but if it came to it and 3 vets advised me to euthanise her to put her out of her misery and pain, I would. I wouldn’t continue to use the cat as a prop for social media likes. It’s really upsetting but as usual Jack knows best.

Also, call me a cynic but the timing of her going to the vets and revealing every little detail when previously she said it was no-one’s business, is very interesting. Just when tides were beginning to turn over her DW pile-on.

Louisa is clearly having fun without Jack (reposted on her stories) - surely this is the reason why Jack is suddenly tagging her? I bet she can't STAND it!

Louisa must be so relieved. She can have a normal evening out with friends, without needing to worry about Jack phoning up to announce she'd 'done chaos' and that Louisa must return immediately.

I wonder if she went to the Dr's with the same attitude with which she went to 3 Vets, to get the diagnosis she wanted.
I find it strange that she ticks the majority of boxes for NPD and is always telling us how self aware she is yet it is the ONE thing she does not claim for herself.
Then I suppose it is the one diagnosis that 9/10 makes you the perp not the victim.
The talk of Culture Capital is absolutely bang on too. I agree, it would piss her off more to be ignored, however she is such a perfect example of a Narc and their damaging behaviour that I think it is incredibly helpful for those affected by that behaviour to see it being challenged and talked about.

Wow, that pic of Louisa is tagged "Out out" .... and so is Jack's pic, one day later.

She's palatable to the middle classes because she is, in fact, middle class.

It pisses me off because it is all about meritocracy- she's alright because she's done alright. The reality is, for people who are genuinely marginalised

in an intersectional way it is a lot harder to 'do alright'.
Yup. Not everyone is starting from the same point. It's so much easier to pull yourself together when you have a supportive family, comfortable background, minimal ACEs and so on.

Reminiscent of Grenfell (when along with an architect, scientist and fire specialist they combined their decades of experience) it seems that she has won over the Vet with her superior knowledge.

Also - aren't all her recipes slop ergo soft? Non-irritating - don't jump in the pot with the slop then Jack

cancer talk
Yeah Jack, if only you were around to advise me I when I was undergoing cancer treatment would have been able to eat.

Oh hang on, I had nausa, vomiting, refux, ulcers in my mouth and throat, oral thrush, everything tasted rank, I could barely move from the sofa. And the PEG as I couldn't swallow.

I think you should shove your recipes up your arse, it can only improve them you thundercunt with an ouchy mouth
