Off topic a bit, as I’m a fairly new viewer of the swadderley’s...but I have only just found out that Liz died last year or possibly during the year before.
I’m sure I heard Di mentioning ‘I’ll show Liz’ in and earlier vlog, so it appears Di was already spending a lot of time with the family (instead of with Liz?) prior to her death.
Are they any vlogs where her death is acknowledged, just seems that it was pretty life-changing for Di, yet I’ve not seen it acknowledged that Di is bereaved. I am wondering if Di spending so much time with the family, and her habit of bursting into tears, has to do with whatever was going on with Liz, for example was she hospitalised for a long time meaning Di was only seeing her for brief visits etc. Just wondering if this habit of being almost constantly at Mark and Nadia’s, and evening often staying overnight, started as a solution to loneliness, or to keep her active during a difficult period. I notice on her middle finger she wears what appears to be an engagement ring and a wedding band.
The poor woman within the last couple of years lost her partner, went from being sprightly to hobbling around in pain, and on top of that she has to pander to Mark’s youtube obsession which I believe brings out the worst in him, in terms of being hyper and not considerate towards his mother’s needs, in name of ‘entertainment’.
Also watching some earlier vlogs...when Nadia has a guest over and Mark goes out. There’s nothing wrong with doing things on your own...but it just looks a bit sad in him case when he is walking the streets alone taking into his phone about where he has been for coffee and which film he has see, all on his own, apparently just because for whatever reason he wants or needs to be out of the house for a for hours and at the same time can call it ‘working’ if he films himself. Isn’t it very odd for a vlogger with such a large following of devotees we to actually not have a single real-life friend? He only ever meets with others through Nadia with her present and is not always even comfortable with that, apart from Michelle who is an employee, it looks like he has no real-world contact with anyone outside of his immediate family. This is apparent well before lockdown...so really lockdown hasn’t affected his social life at all, in fact it has forced his household and Mother to spend even more time with him due to them having less social options. It’s worked in his favour, it helps him manipulate Nadia and Di more if they have less reasonable excuses to be away from his control.
