PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
IMHO Christie is a "dry alcoholic," in other words, she has all the dysfunctional characteristics of an alcoholic (or addict), but doesn't drink (or use)---YET! They need to get her into a 12-step program and pronto to deal with these issues.
Addicts are very good at telling you what you want to hear, without it having any resemblance to their reality (or truth in general). They are manipulative. Rules don't apply to them. They are self-serving. They have entitlement issues. They are passive-aggressive and/or abusive. They basically have been reduced to the lowest common denominator by their addiction. (No, I'm not judging. It is their addiction that we see, not them. However, in order to stay clean, they have to stop these behaviors.)
I was dumbfounded at Christie's behavior with Kim. She was saying, "Kim just thinks about herself" (which is true), but Christie is that way as well. SHE didn't want to know about HER mother, so she wasn't going to call Kim's mother. She was passive-aggressive to the hilt. If Kim hadn't forced Christie to talk to Kim's mother when she had, how on earth was Christie going to get it done before seven, as mandated by Rhonda?
And that thing with her ex-boyfriend! Does she want to be broken up with him, or not? She still seems to want him to change. And she still talks about him in the present tense, like they are still involved. I don't think HE wants to continue being friends, and she certainly should not, since he would be a bad influence on her. She needs to LET GO.
Her attitude towards exercise and dieting is typical of this mindset. "I want to be a model, but I'm not willing to work at it."
Sorry I'm so long-winded, but it's been awhile since I've posted!
