Agree
@Misbehaving, especially where you say...
"I remember years ago reading her cookbooks and she gave such an impression of a well adjusted blended family that I actually was impressed by them!"
I felt this too... I thought Nadia Sawalha's family was like my own by what I read...
I started watching the Sawalha-Adderleys when they went online and very quickly saw that actions spoke louder than words.
I saw that her words had been lies and her actions showed the reality which is that of a disfunctional, jealous messed up family that was headed by two attention seeking, lying, morally bankrupt, narcissistic and messed up people who NEED daily validation from a bunch of strangers.
I saw animals and children being treated extremely badly and never in my life had I felt so duped by the actual reality of the actions and words of the once perceived lovely girl next door that I wrongly assumed Nadia Sawalha was.
The Web of lies got bigger, their world got filthier, their family became more seperated and the extent to which they need daily reassurance that they are busy but wonderful people grew and grew.
Here we are, holding two very selfish, very deceptive and very manipulative people to account.
I've always hoped that they'd gracefully accept we've seen through their rouse and that they'd close it down to focus on fixing their spectacularly broken personalities and lives but that's never going to happen as their need for massive tax relief coupled with their compulsion for approval, endorsement and recognition is far too important to both Sawalha-Adderleys

notSUBmissive - that is a perfect description of the Catch 22 narcissists have to content with [not that they are aware of this of course
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
].The more exposure they gain, the more their defects become glaringly obvious and the more the attention goes to their heads and then they continue to act in an increasingly grandiose manner and making themselves look worse and worse. A certain Duchess living in a multi-toileted mansion is a brilliant example of this - striding around New York like a character from the Matrix!
Also narcissists, as they age, often end up hanging out with and dating younger people as their peers can see through them. I personally know one elderly narcissist who likes "to spend time with the young folks" - yes of course because they don't see through him and he can buy their friendship with his financial clout but they're not friends just hangers-on! I note that Lee chap is quite a bit younger than Nadia. I don't know about Mark's friends - does he have any apart from his daughters?
Two excellent posts
@notSUBmissive and
@WoodlandCreature
It's sad really isn't it looking back when less was most definitely more....and because Nadia was the more successful one she got to shine in the spotlight (which she is good at doing).
The fact that she's not very professional and difficult to work with barely registered (to me anyway) because the image she portrayed of a down to earth semi domestic goddess who had a lot of personal tragedy and still diligently went about her day well it made people give her the benefit of the doubt didn't it?
Who would begrudge her a second shot at happiness not when it appeared that she was devoted to her family and had the support of her (I can't believe I'm about to write this) rather dashing and suave husband!
Yes that's the image they portrayed and that's the good will that they had accumulated from people.
It's absolutely true what both of you have said that over exposure has been their downfall I think with her it started with big brother (or to her money for old rope!).
When she got her hands on some serious money for being obnoxious and basically bossing everyone around!
Still having the hide of a rhino like she does she brushed off how unpopular she had been and brazened it out!
That really should have been the first red flag because other people would have been mortified or done some serious soul searching but not Nadia Sawalha!
What she showed instead is that actually she doesn't care about what the general public (and also now at a later date subs!)think?
All she cares about is money and attention (doesn't matter what kind of attention).
In fact the defiant part of her probably thinks ha ha suckers you don't like me but I'm living it up (at your expense) and there is nothing you can do about it!
It's probably a good day for her when she can antagonise people I believe she actually enjoys it?
So to appeal to her conscious is futile because I seriously doubt if she has one because to have one would cause her discomfort and to have to question herself both things that she is loathe to do.
So I'm afraid she is an example of someone who will make sure that she doesn't feel any pain by passing it onto others if others suffer could be that they are not as clever or as evasive (getting away with it?) as she is?
So she lives for the moment by her wits she knows how to draw in the people who are needed and that have something she can latch onto?
She does this I think by sensing a need in others and then giving them false reassurance that she will provide it? (Nadia to the rescue!)
This feeds her ego of being the person who is desired by others and also more powerful than others?
So it's her playing field and the rest of us are just spectators and like the good provider she is there is always an issue or tragedy or personal pain to exploit and gain from.
She is so voraciously over confident that people can't help but be drawn in.....what is it that she has that gives her this cast iron self belief? (Also is this really a good thing?)
Yet it works it gets her work it gives her a media platform and exposure and income!
So when confidence is everything and in that sense the opinions of others count for naught with her who doesn't come out of the whole exchange a little battered or bruised or angry?
I think she has many enemies (that she has made by her insensitivity) but being Nadia she probably thinks it's a compliment a measure of her power over others?
She's probably still deluded enough to believe that she has the kind of life that everyone secretly covets! That's because other people are just a projection of her own feelings and grandiose self belief?
The fact that she made a post (I think on Instagram) about how gorgeous do I look proves to me that she still believes her own hype and in her own version of herself where she is the biggest star and more beautiful and more interesting and more worthy of attention than anyone else on the entire planet!
Yeah great for her but for the other people who have to get close and personal not so good!
I think Mark and the You tube channel is a case of if you can't beat them join them!
He also has grandiose self beliefs and believes it's his due to be revered and rewarded and his word being the last word on anything!
So the conceit of these people is boundless he played his part of the tortured soul because it means that he gets to abdicate responsibility and it means that Nadia gets to be seen as the long suffering spouse!
Which I don't believe that she really is now because both of them are so self absorbed that neither of them really care about the feelings of the other person!
It's all role play to my eyes.....nothing genuine or authentic about either of them just grandiose self delusion....as long as she remains free to float off into a self created fantasy where she is the centre of the universe ...
As long as he is free to moan and wail and feel hard done by and I could have had a better life if only......I hadn't been abandoned as a boy. .if only I hadn't married such a harridan....if only I could have a drink and find a way to escape myself ..if only I was recognised as being someone worthy of adulation?
Goodness me those two both have the biggest ego I have ever come across......(and that's saying something!)
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In fact it's almost so unbelievable and almost grotesque that I find myself asking just how is it possible that situation has continued for so long?
Well maybe it's a testament to their combined greed In that they never let anything go and instead hold onto a life that actually would send a lot of people scrambling to the nearest therapist!
In their case that probably won't happen because to to to a therapist you have to admit that something is wrong in the first place but I don't believe they will do that because of their insistence that they are both always right and that the life they lead is perfect for them because they are special deserving people and anything they have must be special too because reality with all its ups and downs and challenges is for loser's!
It's the world as a fortress and a battle field and are we not really all blind?
Did we not see already that they are the Victor's and have already won the game and really that's all that matters to them!
It's that black and white and any criticism just falls on deaf ears if you criticise it's because you are not well and are a secret troll and Mark actually wants to hunt you down because he must defend all attacks on his realm!
The truth being an attack to him!
Ah but that's because your not seeing the world through his eyes... ..if you did you'd venerate him and hang off his every word!
So it continues going round and round in circles and they are getting worse because they are getting more and more greedy.....and I don't believe it will stop unless an outside source intervenes?
That's because they just got so used to coasting through life and getting everything they want that really they have zero incentive to want to wake up or change?
They just don't care self growth and realisation will not happen because as I said they already believe they have it all and have an answer for everything?
What an epic case of combined selfishness delusion conceit arrogance and apathy!
Wow well done they should give themselves a badge of merit! That's truly some achievement
