That 15 min or so segment at the end, showed to me that she is a self-imploding disaster waiting to happen at some point. Clearly she has a fast - even eloquent of thought - mind given how fluid her talking was about life at Christmas. But on the other hand, it revolved around the telling of a dysfunctional alcoholic family who get wasted by lunch time as a matter of course when possible - especially weekends, so much so that she slept through one Christmas because by the time afternoon rolled around, she/they were all shit-faced.
I do now think that there is real intelligence there..just no moral compass in her life that has ever directed her towards focusing on others and how they feel, or how to behave as the adult she now is - despite her protestations of 'Picking on a 22 year old.' when not in favour.
She is very damaged goods, and considering the upbringing where she also mentioned apart from alcohol being a driving family force, her Mum could not cook worth squat - that to expect her to be anything other than the mess she is now would be wishful thinking.
Does she have the intellectual capacity to turn her life around ? Absolutely..barely even a question worth debating.
Does she have the desire and caring family network to help this happen ?
Really does not sound like it.
I do not like her, as she exhibits no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and having a mother bleating to the press whilst in there..essentially excusing her Golden Ticket Girl for all and any wrongdoing - is really doing nothing to help Steph have a chance to mature and become less insular in her mindset as to how it is that the world really does not revolve around her.”
Agreed!
Her family seem to have played a massive part in creating the proverbial self centred 'monster' here!
She's babied by her family - Hence her immaturity and 'im only 22' card played daily.
She's spoiled - On LF she said she gets twice as much as her brothers at Christmas. This would also explain her sulkiness and immaturity.
They do everything for her - All the HM's say she messy/scatty.
Her family are all heavy drinkers, so it seems. Being drunk got her sacked, and started this downward trend.
She lacks self awareness and never feels she's in the wrong because she's never had to. She's can do no wrong in her family's eyes,
She thinks the world revolves around her because the world
does and has
always revolved around her!
I do have some sympathy for her as she knows, and has been taught no better!
