Thank you and @Voorts (and anyone else that addresses/answers questions.)
I obvs missed this (dur) but looking an it now, post latest break-up, is crazy. Aren't you supposed to learn from things like this? The lather, rinse, repeat is insane; her entire Destiny break-up is a repeat of this, from the "I thought this was my life" to staying there to co-sleeping. I'm sure it's subconscious but the sheer amount of manipulation and emotional blackmail makes it incredibly hard to break away. For two young girls to have escaped it shows how desperate they must have been.
I know her background contributes towards it but to a certain degree we choose whether to let it keep affecting us and to what extent, yet she seemed to learn nothing from splitting with Krystal, just transferred all the neediness and responsibility to Destiny, making the other shoulder the weight of "my future." Soooo much pressure, so fast, and locked down immediately with chains comprised of finances, leases and all the rest. We get the sanitised version but I can't believe either of those girls clawed themselves free without a hell of a fight, because she puts the responsibility for HER ego on THEIR shoulders.
I know I commented on this before too, but this also highlights how fast her persona changes. In the space of two or three vids she went through an entire personality change - I hadn't realised it was that fast, from likeable girl to screeching mall-rat in less than a fortnight. Nobody is that malleable, even pre-20's. No wonder Rafe felt she never knew the "real" AL. Maybe there isn't one....
Speaking of Rafe....I know this is "feelzy" (have me taken outside and shot for being wet.) But she said Hannah feared Becky abandoning them and seemingly that is just what's happened. Hannah is obviously quiet and shy, didn't want to be filmed, and felt left out. You have to have sympathy - AL just blundered in and blew the fuck out of her life with no regard for Hannah's insecurities, then steamed away from the wreckage squealing about how she was hard done by. That is some level of destruction for knowing them less than a month. Does she really not see this? Or just not care?
