She basically did the same when she had her Christian phase. With the church, she basically found a ready-made community with a lot of people who were willing to mollycoddle her and make her feel cared for, so that was really useful and just what she needed when she felt sooo lonely as a "single mum". Once she had found other means to fulfill her emotional needs, she dropped her church community like a hot potato and pretended it was due to doctrine she didn't agree with. As if she has ever bothered to thoroughly engage with doctrine...It seems Louise only holds onto friends who are useful at the time. She seems to dispose of them pretty quickly once they stop ‘working’ for her.
