I Have Lots of Wtf Moments

Met a woman yesterday who has seven kids and an eighth on the way.
To be honest, she seemed totally rational and well balanced when talking to her but there’s not doubt in my mind that she was literally INSANE.

We've got over seven billion people - it's egomania!

@Seren abusive man in the house or anything like that???

Seren

She seemed quite thrilled with the whole thing so not sure this is the case no @Stilltryinghard

@Seren Have you ever heard of "folie a deux?" or something like that?

This case sounds like it.

folie a deux
n.the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms of a mental disorder (as delusions) in two persons who are closely related (as siblings or man and wife)

*********************************************************************

So I say this is abuse where both are unconscious of the abuse but it exists and both are doing it to each other, and to their children's future prospects.

But then again I think maybe most families do that on some level...
