I agree that Kelley needs all those things. My sense is that she either resists treatment or does it sporadically, which is unfortunately common for mentally ill people. They feel good for a few days and stop taking their meds, and the cycle of bad behavior starts again. I think her family was attempting to get that kind of help when her dad called the cops. She probably knows the right things to say to get out of the hospital. It usually involved telling the treatment provider that you have no intention of hurting yourself or anyone else. Once you are stabilized and make that declaration, they let you out. So she is essentially stuck in a cycle of dangerous behavior followed by treatment. Her family cannot force her into a treatment program unless she is an ongoing danger to herself or them. Everyone is stuck unless she is willing to enter a serious Inpatient mental health facility. |
Sure, she can go to an Inpatient facility for this current momentary crisis but then what? There is no existing treatment that will relieve her of his narcissistic abuse and control except for going No Contact. She can’t do that because 1) the kids keep them connected who he will continue to weaponize them against her and 2) His celebrity ensures she can’t ever get away from him. No matter where she goes, there he is. She’s connected to her abusive yet charismatic Narc for life and he’s in the power position. She knows she can’t ever escape him and feels cornered. She’s not mentally ill. There’s too much footage that shows no history. Perimenopause combined with CPTSD and trauma is real. The BIL living in her house refusing to leave and meddling in her parenting on Scott’s behalf is a huge red flag. She definitely needs help. I will die on this hill in her corner. |
You are speculating and have no idea. This crisis she’s in goes way beyond perimenopause. Her own dad called 911 on her. You have 0 evidence that Scott was abusive aside when she muttered it when she was being arrested, but she also said the cops were abusive. |
Also why does she need inpatient? That further abuses an already abused person. He’s the one with the personality disorder, send him. She needs to continue her soul healing trip then go home, kick the BIL out of HER house, bring in her parents to live temporarily for emotional support, wrap her arms around her kids, hire a therapist who specializes in EMDR for CPTSD, hire a psychiatrist who specializes in trauma and get meds, get hormone replacement therapy, hire a PR person and a high profile attorney, walk in nature, touch grass, attend group therapy and spill her guts out to other abused women and take care of her looks and herself. Then when the kids age out of the house, disappear from his radar and go no contact. |
Yes, it does go beyond perimenopause. She has CPTSD from emotional psychological trauma which is no joke. It will take her years to recover. I bet she felt suicidal because she saw no way out from her celebrity narcissist’s control and said she wanted to die. So being out of state and helpless, Dad called for help. She didn’t say the cops were abusive. She said she was being further abused and they weren’t aware if it. It’s obvious as day what happened. |
She nees inpatient because she is not getting better on her own..A person who is getting better does not get drunk on the way home from the hospital. |
Can we just ignore the excessive projecting "narc" posts? The poster is not open to dialogue, and it's tiresome. |
Well plenty of women go through bad relationship and menopause without choking people, posting rants on Instagram, or mixing medicine and alcohol. The fact that she is doing these things points to possible chemical imbalances that can only be improved by taking medication and stopping alcohol which is a known depressant. I don't get the idea of labeling Scott as her narc abuser while also asserting that he is responsible for taking care of her. The problem with mentally ill people is that they often lash out in relationships and cause deep resentment and hurt. It is very hard to continue to feel love for a person once that cycle starts and you become the object of their rants and abuse. Certainly choking Scott did nor make him want to celebrate with a romantic dinner. That aspect is probably over and she is basically a problem child to him. Once the resentment kicks in it is over, and the best you can hope for is treatment and a peaceful end to the relationship. |
You guys have gone off the rails. You are not psychologists yet are diagnosing someone. You are diagnosing someone you've never met. You are speaking as if your opinions and speculations are facts. You don't know Scott cheated, you don't know if Kelley's bipolar, or in menopause, or been abused by Scott. Get a hold of yourselves! |
Agreed. Those close to them seem to be aligned with Scott. If she choked him, she's off the rails and the 16yo seemed to know that when he wouldn't let her in the house. She is a danger to herself and others. I hope she gets the help she clearly needs. |
Perimenopause and heading to menopause is a pretty good bet at age 48. |
No, we don't "know" that she is bipolar, bit we know that she posted rants on Instagram and tagged numerous celebrities including Oprah, Trump, and Obama. That hints at grandiose thought and possible mental issues, if not bipolar maybe borderline personality. The abuse is being discussed because she asserted that she was a victim of abuse by Scott. |
How sick was the 12 year old? I'm finding it hard to believe that anybody thinks it's some kind of parental neglect to leave a sick 12 year old home alone. I was staying home alone when sick beginning around 5th grade, and I was only 9 then. That was the 1980s when children were not so infantilized as they are now, but seriously, a 12 year old with a cold, flu, tummy ache, anxiety can stay home alone so long as they have a phone to call mom or dad as necessary. |
True. We also “know” that she wrote about significant betrayal by a loved one in March, we also know Scott hadn’t been around during that time period for months and she was primary caregiver and that she briefly went home to visit her parents. We also “know” that up until recently she was coherent even eloquent and future focused as evidenced by her divorce statement versus his in which he painted himself as some kind of martyr who is the one who filed instead of avting like a supportive future ex husband. He was more interested in his image and laying blame on her and destroying her reputation than in successfully partnering with his children’s mother in a amicable divorce. She has a long standing public history of being stable and sane with footage to prove it. We also “know” Scott is controlling her by having his brother in her house and alienating her/even blocking her from home and children. Days before the police finally showed up, we know she called the cops to try to get them to evict the BIL in law who had no custodial rights to the home or kids and they didn’t do it. She told them it was a tricky situation because her husband is famous, they were “the Cleavers” and it had been a “cat and mouse situation” for a year and she wanted the BIL out. Then when they finally showed up because her out of state Dad was concerned because she was breaking, she calmly told the police she was abused and that they were helping him abuse her further and they didn’t listen. This is exactly how abused women are not believed, not supported and end up broken or dead. |
