Someone explain this weird shit to me.

[SummerSnow]

My sister, a grown woman in her 40s who is not well liked by her entire family does a lot if evil shit to people in the family. What I find weird is that when she does evil shit you won't hear from her for months then all of a sudden she will call you and talk baby talk. This is a pattern and mentioned many times by various family members. What the fuck is the babytalk for after you fuck people over? I have asked her why she does this babytalk ,she has no answer. Must be a some kind of a psychological bullshit smokescreen.

1. Well asking for psychiatric diagnosis at DU is always a sound medical step

I go for Histrionic Personality Disorder:

Its hard with just 5 sentences but if you give me a couple of paragraphs I am sure I can nail it.

2. booze?

that's my first guess.

3. are you talking LITERAL babytalk, like cooing?

I would say that is some kind of mental issue.......has she had a mental health evaluation?

4. Sounds like the whole Smeagol/Golum thing.

5. I had a prof. that gave out some symptoms

to our Abnormal psych class and asked what the class thought. Students gave what they thought was the diagnosis would be. She said the professional diagnosis would be, "she is fucking nuts".

6. OMG-my old boss-A HEDGE FUND CEO-used to do the same thing...

Can you imagine a woman running business like this? She would use the voice after she was horrible to her staff (as her PA, me in particular), when she was talking to her (all-male) advisory board and occasionally when she was trying to convince people to allow her to manage millions of dollars of theirs.

Her last fund went belly-up (this after a successful career of working for large firms). When us ex-employees get together for cocktails and catch-up, one of our favorite things to do is imitate her "baby-talk".

I hope someone has a good idea of your sister's diagnosis! I'd love to share it with my friends!

8. Well obviously, the baby talk means she needs something.

The fucking you over means she doesn't.
