Her son committed suicide this week. She is hospitalized now after posting suicidal tweets. So sad. I fear it's a matter of time for her.

She’s always been “off.” As in mentally ill, or borderline so.

But it seems to get worse and worse each year, with the behavior becoming increasingly extreme.

First she tore up a photograph of the Pope. Then she apologized and became ultra Catholic briefly. Now she’s converted to devout Muslim.

And her erratic lifestyle did not seem like the healthiest or most stable environment for raising her son.

But still so very very sad for her, or any mother who loses a child; that should never happen.

I do beleive I read she has bipolar, PTSD and borderline personality disorder.

I feel for her-she was dealt a bad genetic hand (I also come from "crazy Irish"), was severely abused, and then early fame probably didn't do her any favors as she was in the spotlight during those years that many of us are going to therapy and learning to function in the world. I hope she can find some peace.

Poor woman.

I’ve always loved her haunting fragile voice. Hope she makes it through this.

I read her book last year and some parts were very painful to read. She has been dealt a poor hand in many ways, but it was always obvious that she really loved her children, and I was devastated for her when I saw the news about her son. I hope she can find strength and peace during this terrible time.

Fragile? That’s the opposite of how I’d describe her voice.

She lost custody of all 4 of her kids YEARS ago due to her mental illness and inability to stay on her meds.

And the son died over a week ago, not this week.

She was vilified about the SNL pope thing.

Guess what? She wasn’t wrong

Yes I remember what a hard time everyone gave her after she ripped up his photo and it turns out she was absolutely right. People owe her an apology for that one!

So talented, but so troubled.

She was raped by a priest.

Her mom protected the priest.

She tore the actually picture of the Pope hanging in her moms house.
