i used to work with a girl kind of like this, the funny part was i knew her mom. so when the girl would talk about how bad her childhood was and how her parents "abused her", her mom would laugh at all the bullshit the daughter was making up.
for instance, the daughter complained that her parents would never let her outside at all, and even told she wasn't allowed to go to this halloween party and had to sneak out to go. the mom laughed and told me how the halloween party was thrown by college kids in a city an hour away and didn't start till 11 at night on a school night daughters freshman year of high school.
the daughter always told me how she was lactose intolerant, even though i always saw her eating cheese products, yogurt, and other dairy products. the mom even told me it was total bullshit.
some bitches just have a victim/woo is me complex and she was definatly one of them.
