the only nagging doubt with people like that is whether they are aware of what they're doing
and if she wasn't aware and/or couldn't stop herself, do we decide she was "sick" and to be cared for? instead of shitting her pants she shit her social connections?
this is al unclear to me.
but on the other hand your mother getting something poisonous away from her children - I have no qualms about that.
I can understand your dilemma. I knew someone that passed and several people responded like Vivian Vance "Ethel Mertz" when she found out William Frawley "Fred Mertz" died she said, "CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYBODY!!!"
I was so taken aghast at the response of the people I had to call my mom and go Why are they acting like this? I was amazed that when you do people wrong and do dirty deeds, people will really celebrate your passing as a liberation from your infliction of misery on others. Sometimes all you can say is god bless them and may their soul rest in peace.
I have strived, in spite of a lot of grave disappointments in my adulthood, not to become THAT person you've described, a self-exiled social hermit.
I'd recently put much thought into what it was that I've been avoiding and, in contrast, what it was that I've been wanting out of life. Turns out, there was a lot of overlap between the two.
It's just that I'd been avoiding in my social life what I figured would be consistently unappealing. I generalized the greater whole to be just like its constituent parts that displeased and hurt me in the past.
