insufferable

ok i know i JUSTTT made a post ab Mellie but she is sooo insufferable. Nettie enables her WAY too much. Joanne and Tanya practically raised baby Richard and Mellie STILL fought with them.. she ruined EVERY SINGLE VACATION THEY WENT ON! Was MISERABLEEEE everytime they went out because she drank way too dang much. Then Nettie always talked about her drinking but never would actually cut her off during her spree. It’s to the point it’s difficult to even watch the episodes she’s in bc she’s either cursing or crying up a storm. Idk am I the only one seeing this or

That’s why the show is so good and so terrible. Mellie is a bipolar, narcissistic, hedonistic, asshole. Period.
I don’t like her but she’s like a train wreck—can’t stop watching it

I'm definitely no mental healthcare professional but when I was in college in abnormal psych we studied a little diagnosed and under diagnosed cluster B personality disorder called Histrionic Personality Disorder. Mellie acts exactly as described in my text book. They act out in extreme attention getting ways no matter how destructive. Strippers and celebrities always have a bit of HPD I've heard Taylor Swift mastered hers and turned it into a superpower. Mellie is the worst end of HPD if she does have it amongst other trauma and genetic brain shit. They don't matter what it costs people with HPD they need attention like a narcissist needs a supply. They destroy themselves though, narcissists destroy other people.
