[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Never Glennon who I considered to be a clear toxic narcissist from the get go.[/quote]

Years ago, when a Jen fan, I checked out Momastery and while I liked Glennon's writing and really liked a couple of her posts, she had a crazy-eyed look that made me think she was a little cuckoo.  And...here we are. She is actually mentally ill.  Her sister is a brat and Abby is trying to make the relationship work with all her Olympian strength but wow, it's a struggle. 
I can't even bring myself to hate-listen to her podcast.

I have mixed feelings on Glennon, but she didn't have to disclose her health condition to the whole world on her podcast, and she did, knowing it would absolutely be seen by  many as hypocritical. Isn't that transparency? When she wrote Untamed, she didn't know she was anorexic. She had a hard time accepting it apparently even when told quite bluntly by specialists - that kind of denial is part of the disease, which is what the specialist told her when she denied it. Anyone who reads any of her books and thinks they're suggestive that she (or anyone's books, thinking they) "have it all figured out" has their own problems. There's not a single book in the world written by someone who actually has it "all figured out." "All figured out" doesn't exist. In any event, I think it's shitty to rag on someone for their health condition, that they opted to disclose and certainly didn't have to.[/quote]

Point received and taken. [/quote]
