he would be in jail but pretty boy got away with it. He and Ivanka should never have been granted a security clearance

In daddy’s eyes, she can do no wrong, and daddy gives her whatever she wants. Don Jr. appears to be the scapegoat. He’s headed for an early grave if the history of his uncle Freddie is any indication. Eric is just the neglected and ignored nobody who’s just dying to get daddy’s attention and approval.

The whole family is sick, but this dynamic is far more common than we like to admit.

My mother is the trump.

It is a good thing all three of us saw through it years ago and took appropriate steps to distance ourselves.

But how does Melania fit in? I don't get that part. Do you?

11. Melania might as well be an expensive piece of jewelry.

She’s something that he’s wearing at the moment. At one point it gave him pleasure to do so because it made him feel good about himself. Having Melania on his arm made him feel virile and attractive. At this point, he might be looking for the next, new shiny thing. Who knows?

But people have very little value to him beyond how they make him feel about himself.

That's not hard to believe with the Trumps and their shady associates.

But for some like Mary Trump they break out and let the pattern end with them. Every person that recovers from the damage of child abuse becomes a voice that helps end that abuse.

and Trump is the face of it.

I honestly think she has a "monster" on her hands she can't handle and she knows the gig is up. If she isn't indicted once all this is over and everything comes out I will be very surprised.

12. Ignoring or covering up for his serious limitations is the worst part, IMO.

I've suspected a slow form of dementia all along; all the symptoms are there. In most families, someone would take charge and seek help. This bunch just keeps the $$$ rolling in. Probably all of them will abandon him eventually. Or trot him out for a price.

Who has feelings, integrity, courage to stand up to her family and reveal the ugliness that consumes them.
