Her behaviour has been consistant for many years. People throw around words like Bi-polar, ADD, etc. to excuse behaviour that is a result of lack of common sense, ignorance or just plain stupid. It does an injustice to people who actually suffer such ailments.

Whatever her problems are don't you agree she needs help?
She has been to rehab at least twice and quit, she has been an irresponsible mother from the get go and she has the money and resources to make her life better if she had a clue or the intention. There is no shortage of people trying to help her, her refusal to take it does not gain any sympathy from me. I am more sympathetic to people who want help, who need help, but can't or don't get it because of a lack of resources or familiarity.
