I lived in the same apartment building as Sallie a couple of years ago. I came across her at a residents party, I didn’t know anything of her and tbh I asked the building manager what he was doing letting people like that in because she was just grim and I didn’t think she’d live somewhere like that.
She left the kids in the reception foyer and went outside with some man for ages, meanwhile me and a couple of others minded her kids so they weren’t completely alone. They kept asking where she’d gone which was sad, and they were so so comfortable in the presence of strangers, they kept hugging me and the little one wanted to be picked up constantly.
She came back in absolutely wired telling me how nice I am hugging me and saying my attitude towards her kids showed I was nice??? They were alone? Then she started showing me videos of the inside of her flat and her Christmas decorations and dog? It was so weird
