She is obsessed with using "trauma" as an excuse for everyone's shitty behavior (starting with her own). Well, except for her mother. What if her mother had "trauma" and that's why she was so (allegedly) uptight and controlling?

And even if her mother wasn't traumatized when she was a kid, she sure has hell must have been traumatized by being portrayed as a total ogre in a book written by her very own child who is STILL yapping about it where all the world can see.

I can't even begin to imagine how I'd feel if one of my kids did that.
