Summarized like this, it looks like things settled down for Smee when she remarried. Chantal was already 6. Those times she was left alone at grandma's with only food to soothe herself, and being scolded for it, were crucial years.The funny thing is, Nicole is someone whose age and looks Chins would mock if she wasn't kissing Chins' fat ass. And the time may come when she does exactly that. I can see it now. Nicole makes a "donation" that she can't afford to have Chins do something she promises to do. Chins doesn't follow through, Nicole wants her money back, Chins refuses then scolds and blocks Nicole. Nicole then becomes an unsuccessful reaction channel in the vein of Missy Moo and Kaibella.
Let's get it straight. From what Chins herself has revealed, Smee moved out of Grams' house to make it on her own. She was working and attending college, which is why she left her demon child with her paternal grandmother, who admonished her for always wanting to eat. Smee married step-dad when Chins was six years old, and even by Chins own accounts he has always been good to her. He gave her the media kit that she...gave to Nader. She inherited a blanket from Grams that she...left at Nader's. It was Smee that sent her to the psych hospital when she was 15, enrolled her in Katimavic, and sent her to a group home and told her she couldn't come back home until she straightened herself out. I don't know that I could have done much better if I spawned a Chantal (which was a stupid thing for Smee to do in the first place).
A lot of the worst damage done to kids is done before grade one. It takes a lot of effort and emotionally intelligence on part of the parents and eventually the child themselves to heal from it.
Since food and eating are like, the most basic parts of survival, and since food is how tiny babies are shown love, it seems like whatever broke inside Chantal broke VERY early.
