I see a LOT of RED FLAGS and indicators that Teri Shields could have been an N and an undercover predator.  What mother in their right mind would deliberately sexualize her own child for profit?!?!?!?!?!?

KayZee:
I've always thought Teri was an engulfing N! 

Brooke's memoir Down Came the Rain is actually very good.  Her postpartum depression seemed really linked to voicelessness.  I remember Brooke writes something about how her mother's voice was still the loudest voice in her head back when she had her children.  I could totally relate to that; in the beginning, with my first kid, I lived with this maddening, constant worry that I was going to turn into the momster I remembered from my childhood.  I remember being filled with profound grief too; because I couldn't celebrate my magnificent new baby without simultaneously wondering how my own mother could look at me--so small, so dependent--and feel nothing but resentment. 

Anyway, poor Brooke.  I can totally relate to that very difficult, very smothering relationship she had with her NM.
