please the woman is just as batshit crazy as her daughter.

^^Yeah and there's nothing wrong with a balanced unconditional love, especially for your own kids. Why have kids then if you don't believe in unconditional love?

Well a lot of people do. That's unfortunately the way it is...

it's rather common for marriage counselors. my mom's one and she's on her fifth! btw, Linda Carroll (she of the high morals) had an affair with my mother's husband back in '69 or so in eugene, causing a divorce. and this man was an absolute sociopath, eventually fleeced Linda basically, and left her...he was a therapist who fucked his clients. interesting no? she already had Courtney at that point, and some other offspring that she ditched to go to New Zealand. i am actually really glad that happened because my mother might be dead if she were still married to that guy!
