So Maria’s latest hyper fixation is the death of her niece.
Not taking anything away from the sadness of that, Maria’s latest post about her ‘dropping everything’ (mandarin peeling, book reading and meme posting) to go see her sister is a little random. We have a series of photos of her very messy suitcase, her closed suitcase, her plane seat, her plane tv?!??
Very odd is it not.
I'll say it, Maria jumped at the opportunity to leave her family to travel and "support" her sister. It gave her a chance to leave the environment she was resenting, let's be honest, she hated being around Phil.
Maria left her own family at an incredibly vulnerable time, Phil's recent epilepsy diagnosis.
She left two children, and most likely a very scared adult who couldn't drive, to travel to be with her sister, who judging by the posts had a good support network.
How scared must have Chloe and Ronan been, they would be the ones who might find their dad. He would have been terrified it could happen and the children would have to deal with it. That's too much to put on any children's shoulders. Yet by leaving, and then moving into another bedroom, she passed the buck. And now she's milking her sister's loss and grief for engagement. None of this needed to be posted.
