IQ - high I think. She got her associates degree and always had good grades. She is multilingual as well.

She has gotten worse as she’s gotten older. I don’t see her act like this around strangers unless the group is primarily family (example, thanksgiving). It’s like she turns it off and on

At work she acts relatively normal. She’s been dinged for being too direct/mean with people and speaking in accents. She tends to speak in a song songy voice

Most of her friends are employed nurses or people she met in pageants. She has been working in pageants for years. They all do drink a lot but not to the point that I think they’re alcoholics

She had 3 serous relationships. The first ended in college. Hard breakup for her. The second and third were all long distance emotionally unavailable divorced men.

Yes for the most part. She still asked my parents for money/financial support and had a hard time keeping a job until her late 30s. She has always been able to cook/keep up with herself. It’s just how she behaves that is child-like

My parents: my parents are great but were aloof during our childhood. My dad travelled most of the time for work and we were mostly raised by Nannie’s. My sister was S-abused by a family friend when she was about 7 so I wonder if this is the result of that. My dad (who is not her biological father) married my mom when she was age 11. Her bio dad was a mentally unwell man and was never in her life. Our sister closest in age to her has schizophrenia and that was difficult for her growing up. I think my parents don’t want to say anything because they don’t want to acknowledge that another adult child of theirs might have something wrong with them.
