Three Faces of Twitney

I guess bi-polar isn't crazy enough. The talk now is that Twitney is suffering from a multiple personality disorder, or dissociative identity disorder. There's Twitney, some girl that talks in a british accent, and some girl that acts like a diva. Apparently when in one of her "other self's" she has no recollection of events and that explains why she missed all those darn depositions!

That's all well and good. Except, non of her personalities seem to remember to wear underwear, and the ONLY thing she tends to forget is anything regarding the well being of her children. Starbucks? No problem. Clubs? No problem. Taco Bell? No problem. Nope, just those pesky courts. Hmm.

What I don't understand is, how does this at all benefit her with regard to her children? This can't help. Bi-polar is very treatable. A multiple personality disorder would be much more difficult to diagnose as well as treat. Of course, this is if it's at all true. I get the sense Twitney really doesn't want to bother with her kids. Sad.

Crazy is as crazy does

So Britany was carted off after refusing to give up her child in somewhat of a stand off at her home the other night. She was put under a 72 hour watch. When that's done, a hospital can hold someone against their will. As is apparently the case as recent reports have the skanky one throwing fits. Her kids have been yanked completely pending further hearings and, I'm sure, evaluation of her condition. Reports are already coming in that she's bi-polar, that her behavior wasn't a result of drugs, alcohol, or a mix. And already people are excusing her behavior to a mental disease.

Not so fast.

First, these are very early reports. We really don't know anything yet. Second, we know she drank, did drugs, acted like a skank, acted terribly as a parent, acted irresponsibly, and looked for attention. Bi-polar wouldn't explain everything. Also, she seemed to find the clubs just fine, the parties, the Starbucks, the Taco Bells . . . it's only the courthouse she couldn't find, her appearance times she couldn't keep, and her work commitments she couldn't make. Hmmm. Pretty convenient if you ask me.

Now if it turns out that she really is bi-polar . . . ok, let's see how she manages her care. Having gone through depression myself I can tell you there needs to be a huge personal commitment to getting yourself better. Look at Hohan. She's wanting her cake and to eat it too. Doesn't work that way. I see her crashing sometime soon. As for Britany, another thing we know about her is that she's not too bright and apparently doesn't want anyone's help. Trying to imagine her following a treatment plan is like trying to watch a lion after throwing a sheep in his cage and telling him: "No. You can't eat that".

I don't want to sound un-sympathetic to any degree. But for many people, not just celebrities, deciding one is bi-polar, or is an alcoholic, is too often another way to escape personal responsibility.
