Carol and Lou's parents are as much to blame as Lou. In fact, more so - Lou is Frankenstein's monster- they have created/ruined her. I don't think she's ever heard the word 'no' in her life. She's never had tough love.
I'm not sure Lou's parents have much going on up top, but Carol... You have kept Lou as a spoiled pet for at least 4 years now..... Just wondering how that's working out for you? Feeling good about yourself? Do you go to bed at night feeling smug whilst polishing your halo?
You've enabled Lou and her lies and her bullshit and her fantasy world for far too long. If you'd never showered her with whatever she hinted for she'd probably be clean now.
You've taught her to beg. You've rewarded every fake tear, every faked drama, every implausible whim. You've taught her that she doesn't have to try. You've taught her that all she needs to do is hint and Saint Carol will deliver.
She's using you Carol. Me, and hundreds of other more awake people will have told you this in DMs before - going back to 2018 or 19 or whenever this sshow started. Do you see that we were right? Or do you still think your mission has been a success?
When you started funding her, she was a pain in the arse but my god she was a completely different person to the Lou we have at the end of 2023. They're like two completely different people, DECADES apart.
You'll likely stick your fingers in your ears and say you're still helping a person in need and where's our empathy blah blah blah.
You've ruined her carol. She's absolutely fed. Congratulations! Your whole relationship with Lou is creepy, weird, unhinged, unhealthy and responsible for where she's at now.
Hope you feel at peace in your American mansion. fing oddball.
There's been some speculation that you've withdrawn your help. Unlikely - i think you're addicted to the thrill of 'helping'. But anyway, even if you have - too little too late.
It's all a bit Munchausen's by proxy for me and if the worst comes to the worst you'll not feel any guilt because it'll just open up another avenue for attention. It's like something out of Black Mirror, but it's real and i can't get my head around it.
