Who in hell, outside of Rupert Murdoch and Hitler, has henchmen anymore? Who?
Also, I don't want to/mean to denigrate anyone's experiences by questioning Jack's description of her night terrors, fears, etc. from when she was poor.
But.
I have friends who have served in war zones, as soldiers, nurses, medics, who have been shelled, shot, exploded, who have had to watch the burn piles of their soldiers' limbs so that dogs don't make off with them, who have less PTSD than Jack describes. Incidentally, a lot of them came from poor households before they entered the service.
The loop is getting tiresome. She hasn't even bothered to make it up anymore. Just repeating the same stuff. Aren't there other people's stories she can co-opt and present as her own--such a lazy confabulist, she is.

She sounds a lot like a family member's ex. Who was a crack addict, incidentally. The cops were always outside the door of his third-floor apartment.
the ivy used to be considered fancy but about the same time that Nescafé gold instant was also”posh”. How is she so consistently wrong about everything? I’m starting to think she doesn’t go outside, you know.
