[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A sane person would not act like Kelley, even when provoked by a narc (which may not even be the case. We do NOT know.)[/quote] Narc’s just dont provoke, they methodically destroy over a long period of time with many multiple cycles of abuse. Of course it could be something else but his statement gave him away. Victims of long term abuse absolutely look like Kelly. It is a disservice to abuse victims to pretend like they come out of these situations mentally intact. It takes years, sometimes even decades for these victims to recover. She was filmed for six months in the Real World 24 hours a day and she was so sane and calm she was annoyingly boring. She’s not bipolar. [/quote] Isnt the definition of bipolar, extreme moods in both directions, highs and lows?[/quote] No Bipolar is a genetic chemical imbalance in the brain that can be treated by meds. Kelly probably has thousands of hours if reality TV footage that proves she’s sane. I am fairly confident that what Kelly is suffering is CPTSD also known as Complex PTSD which is often misdiagnosed as and can look like Bipolar disorder on the surface. CPTSD is caused by chronic trauma usually in the form of repeated abuse as is typically seen in victims of narcissistic abuse. Victims of CPTSD and are often stuck in flight or fright mode from walking on eggshells waiting for the next abuse cycle. Idealize (lovebombing) Devalue (abuse) Discard (threats of divorce,etc) then Calm then back to lovebombing. The charming Narcissists victim is co dependent on their abuser and the cycle is so insidious and manipulative the victim begind to lose their sense of reality. This cycle can repeat multiple times a year over decades until the final Discard which is where Kelley is now, leaving the codependent victim devastated often leading to a meltdown. As a result of abuse, CPTSD victims have a destabilized sense of self which causes like depression and anxiety which can be treated with meds but what she really needs is a great therapist and an amazing attorney. She’s not crazy, she’s abused. [/quote] [b]Her best friend Danny just posting something that supports Scott.[/b] Saying something along the lines of people falsely claim abuse when they can't take accountability of their own actions. It was posted in the instagram story but then took it down. Also bipolar can come on at any time, or she could have been treated for it and we didn't know. We don't know.[/quote] That’s not a good friend. He should be trying to make sure she gets help or privately having those conversations with her. [/quote] He probably did and saw how unhinged she became and felt compelled to speak out on behalf of Scott. She also said the two police officers were abusing her when they did the 51/50. She is not a reliable narrator in her current condition. Hopefully she can get the help she needs but at this rate she could lose custody of her kids [/quote] Right, if I saw my best friend become absolutely unhinged, I’d privately reach out to her husband to offer support. while also working to get her the help she needs. I would never post something on my Instagram while my friend is having a breakdown. I don’t know if this is because they are “famous” or what but it seems in bad taste, no? [/quote] Actually a good true friend doesn’t reach out to the Ex who is causing the breakdown to begin with. This leaves her even more isolated and she already feels alone. Does the friend live in their house? No, then he doesn’t know the whole story. Covert narcissistic abuse is difficult to spot unless you’ve lived it. Her response is actually called “reactive abuse”. The abuser makes the victim crazy from the abuse and then acts calm and rational and then points the finger at the abused and says *See look how crazy they are”. Again. “Reactive abuse”. Look it up. A real friend would reach out to the immediate family. The parents, siblings, etc.to offer help and support. if you don’t know the immediate family then you arent that close of a friend are you? And true friends don’t throw you under the bus on social media. They are former friends now if they ever really were friends. [/quote] Ok, this has gone off the rails. You are writing as if you have insider knowledge and you’ve got the whole narrative, full of details based entirely on your own projections. Look - I have NO doubt that what you describe occurs, and is a common phenomenon with narcissists. I don’t dispute that at all. But that doesn’t mean it’s automatically true in this situation; untreated mental illness is also a very real and heartbreaking thing. It sounds like they’ve been through it, including their children. [/quote]
