So I guess turning Bodhi into Terri Schivo will teach those mean doctors to take away Susan’s precious clozapine.
What’s scary is Susan joking about him being comatose. Bodhi has been near catonic on meds for a year and Susan thought it was fantastic. But I guess acting the same way sans drugs is terrible.
I do worry for Bodhi because being taken off all these meds at once is rough and he has a sadistic, evil mother.
Bodhi would be totally fine without much food for a few days, as long as he drinking water or juice it’s no big deal. He’s not some starved waif on the verge of collapse.
Shes a sociopath.
Seriously. Theres no other explanation at this point.
Symptoms of sociopathy/antisocial personality disorder
Symptoms
Antisocial personality disorder signs and symptoms may include:
- Disregard for right and wrong
- Big check. Basically everything Susan does she will do regardless of the ethics around it.
- Persistent lying or deceit to exploit others
-Check. She goes doctor shopping, giving the doctors probably only bits and pieces od the truth, distorting whatever she needs so that she can exploit the doctors to give her medications.
- Being callous, cynical and disrespectful of others
-Her entire book- yes I did read it- she basically spends trash talking Michael and using whatever she can to claim spiteful victories over him and hurt him.
- Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or personal pleasure
-I wouldnt say shes charming but she definitely is manipulative enough to both have gotten away with all of this for as long as she has and keep a fan following. And its ALL for her own personal gain and pleasure.
- Arrogance, a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated
-Knows more than all doctors. Not because of any sort of merit- just because shes Susan and shes above all.
- Recurring problems with the law, including criminal behavior
-No problems with the law. But thats just because the law hasnt caught up with her yet.
- Repeatedly violating the rights of others through intimidation and dishonesty
- She intimidates basically everyone to get her way. Teachers, psychiatrists, Michael, probably her respite workers, her friends... the list goes on. To be a friend of Susan is to be used by Susan
- Impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead
-That trip she randomly took to get Bodhi on clozaril? Where she didnt have gas or money and had to call on one of the above friends to exploit again/save her butt.
- Hostility, significant irritability, agitation, aggression or violence
-Detailed in both of the Schofields books. Hitting each other. Knock out fights. Grabbing Bodhi by the back of his hair during a seizure? Enjoying her own parents fighting/ect ect.
- Lack of empathy for others and lack of remorse about harming others
- Current situation is all we need for this one. But theres so so much more... This one is checked about 10x over.
- Unnecessary risk-taking or dangerous behavior with no regard for the safety of self or others
-Admittedly cant think of anything for this one off the top of my head.
- Poor or abusive relationships
-Ask Mike. I think that relationship was pretty poor and at least emotionally abusive.
- Failure to consider the negative consequences of behavior or learn from them
-What is she? Late 40s now. Both kids with hospitalizations in the double digits? Going to doctor after doctor and being told again and again shes not doing a great job parenting. Instead of listeninbg to the various doctors actively trying to help her kids- doing things her way anyways.
- Being consistently irresponsible and repeatedly failing to fulfill work or financial obligations
- Her financial situation? She doesnt work. She doesnt do ANYTHING. She doesnt make Jani wear her glasses. She doesnt clean her apartment. She begs people for money. Shes perfectly able to work but- irresponsibly- refuses not to.
She MAY be bipolar. But honestly I dont think so. If she is- she is also a sociopath in my opinion. People with mental illnesses are still people underneath it all- you dont just become evil the second you are diagnosed with a mental illness. You arent empty. Susan is empty. Thats why she needs this constant drama around her- to distract from that emptiness- so she feels filled up for just a second. But it isnt enough. It will never be enough. Which is why she wont and cant stop. Which is why these kids are in a lot of danger.
