Oh wow just had a nosey and can't believe how much she's changed in 10 years, it's sad really.
Going by the pics on there, do you reckon she was always spoilt by mummy and daddy and got her own way? Maybe that's why she's so entitled now
I suspect a large part of it stems from feeling invalidated when growing up, there's a definitive link between emotionally unavailable (or abusive) parents with BPD.
We know her mum had her problems, she went through DV with Leannes biological father and was (allegedly) stabbed by him - so its not beyond the realms of possibility that her mum had some deeply entrenched MH problems herself, understandably so, and therefore couldn't meet Leannes emotional needs.
We know Leanne was put into Foster care, so there's the beginning of her abandonment issues.
The lashing out we see from her seems, to me, to be a defence mechanism. She expects everybody to abandon her, or
tit on her, as thats probably all shes ever known, so she puts up a barbed wall and "
duck everybody" persona when really, all she actually wants, is for people to like and accept her.
The entitlement, IMO, is just an extention of that. She knows how people see her so throws out this persona of "
duck you all, I'm the best, I deserve the best, me me me" because its uncomfortable for her to acknowledge the fact she's got to 41 with no career prospects and nothing to show for it.
All hypothetical of course but that's just my analysis based on my own suspected EUPD and my own upbringing.
Who knows what really went on with her parents but we do know that she's completely estranged from them now and that sits uncomfortably with me for two reasons:
Firstly the love I have for my children is unconditional and I couldn't fathom having nothing to do with them, regardless of what they may do in life, the deep material instinct in me would be screaming out to make sure that they're OK and safe. Leannes mother doesn't appear to give a
tit.
How many here would be able to sleep at night with the knowledge that their (I think) only daughter was alone in a far away city selling her body to strangers and putting herself in danger? Not many, I wouldn't have thought.
Secondly, I've seen how easy it was for my own mother to wash her hands of me and carry on as though I don't exist. In my case, my mother is an emotionally unavailable and neglectful parent, always has been, so I expect Leannes mother isn't too dissimilar.
Well rounded, well adjusted parents seldom raise children that end up like Leanne.
Add in the fact that her bio father was quite clearly a nut job who thinks nothing of attacking his partner/wife with a knife - I think she was probably doomed from the start.
All that said and done, she and she alone is responsible for her behaviour and however tough her upbringing was it doesn't excuse the
tit she does or how she treats people, even If it
might explain it.
Plenty of us have a
tit start to life and don't go about the way she does.
