It’s definitely a possibility. However Lydia is passive aggressive and horrid to everyone. She can’t handle criticism or disagreement. She treats the slightest questioning as a personal attack.
Her treatment of Ali and Carrie who are her nearest and dearest is abominable. We don’t personally know Lydia or her mother to understand their relationship but her pattern of behaviour gives us some insight into who she is.
Then there was the person who went to school with her who said Lydia was a user and showed the same character traits in her youth.
The only people Lydia seems to fawn over are her in laws and her father and step mum and it seems to be because they are wealthy. She’s certainly an interesting character study.
I’ve also seen first hand how perfectly good parents can turn out horrid children and good ones. Some people are just bad apples. Of course this is all speculation. I can only base my opinions on the way I see Lydia treat others and she has a vicious streak. Surely not everyone is treating Lydia so poorly. Perhaps she needs to take stock and question whether she might be the common denominator.
Welcome to the conversation. I have a nasty cold too
