    Narcissist parents usually choose one kid to be the black sheep. They use the kid as a projection board of their negative traits. They also make siblings fight for crumbs of love which creates intense competition and envy.

    I believe Christina. I believe her because I had very sick parents who also had public ‘masks’, manipulated people into believing they were good parents, and who, behind closed doors, did things to their children that could have landed them in prison. I tell my sibling, who is protective of our parents’ ‘reputation’, ‘they are in HELL now.’ And I mean it.

    I believe Christina 100%. It irks me when ppl try to say her childhood wasn't what she said it was... like everyone knew she was a vain, cruel b*tch. She adopted Christina from an agency that literally kidnapped babies from usually underage mothers. The mom would be told their baby died when in all actuality they were sold on the black market. Ppl try to say Joan didnt know but she definitely did, everyone in Hollywood did. The adoption agency was known as a Celebrity Kid Mill like a damn puppy mill... ugh... joan was just vile... can u imagine being abused your entire childhood and then having society mock you and say you're lying?!? Even tho there were witnesses everywhere?!? It just boggles the mind.

She was under fire by family members when the movie came out Joan Crawford's grandson has come out on the internet saying thst wasn't true and that Joan Crawford was not what Christina wrote in her book. Christine Crawford traveled the talk shows in the 80s and.90s and her own family called her
      Out.on those accusations. She had to admit that some of the things she wrote including the wire hanger scene were not true.

    Of course it was true.... if you think logically about it...Joan Crawford had a reputation of being controlling and difficult while making her movies.....so given that information it only seems believable that she would feel comfortable to exurt the same type of behavior towards her children plus worse since she would feel comfortable to express her complete control over them and managed to do it using whatever means necessary to do it!!

      Don't doubt the book. I grew up with a father who did very similar things to us kids when we were growing up. That era, parents could pretty much get away with a lot of physical abuse and there wasn't much anyone could do about it.
