I would prefer that it's fake, but I'm not sure that Alyssa has the depth to fake a text conversation from someone who is calmly asking for the dishes to be washed. If she were going to go to all the effort of making up an abusive job, wouldn't it be more satisfying to have herself in sexual slavery or a drug moll again? She's not even accusing this woman of raping her!I mean, she's obviously borderline. Could the nanny gig be a total larp, @Aunt Carol?
In younger years, I knew a few batshit young women (and FtMs, once the trend hit) who had disaster personal lives but stumbled into under-the-table nanny/housekeeper gigs that they sustained for at least a few months. Parents thought they were hiring a manic pixie for the kids, I guess, or giving a waif a roof and a purpose.
Taking care of multiple children all day did tend to take some of the fights-and-sex-with-inadvisable-dudes wind out of the BPD girls' sails for as long as it lasted, kind of like getting your dog enough exercise so it doesn't chew up the couch. Sadly, my sample size is way too anecdotal to tell you what percentage of your kids will statistically get Andrea Yates'd if you go the cheap route.
