Did she not know he didn't have a job or education when she got engaged? She only realized this from some text on Levi's phone (just what was she doing looking at Levi's phone messages?) It sounds like she thinks she was doing him so big favor, rather than being someone she is in love with.Laranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746859932156605615.post-51894707724232632202010-07-25T23:38:40.000-08:002010-07-25T23:38:40.000-08:00You said it well Mercede.

You are fighting a huge machine -one that will try to roll right over you- I hope you are being careful and that you have people looking out for you. I am really glad that you put Levi on the carpet. He has to know that you have always had his back and for him to allow this to happen is shameful. It is something that will follow him for a long, long time. If he wants to be with Bristol and his son that is fine but he has to find the way to work it out with you and your mom. I worked with kids long enough to know that there is never one side to any story but I would be proud to know you. Good luck.

The first thing they announced is that they were selling their story (Tripp, breakup, getting back together, engagement, wedding, more kids) as a reality show. Neither of them have enough education for a really top job. Bristol has seen how easy it is for her mother to wink in front of a camera, please a crowd and get a reality TV series. Even the people who crashed a White House dinner want a reality show. Balloon Boy's father tried to get a reality show. Everybody sees it as a way to be famous, make money and not work very hard. Kate and eight kids; need I say more?<br><br>But no one bought their idea of a full season in depth look at two kids who had a baby, had a fight, made up and decided to get married. I'm sorry to say this, Sadie, but as cute as Levi is, he really is not a very good actor. And we all saw how wooden Bristol has been in her TV interviews and cameo appearances. So, with no massive income to fuel their immature dreams, they fell to squabbling again. (What sellouts, to announce their engagement in a magazine for money.)<br><br>Bristol (under Sarah's control) wants total control over Levi. I clan tell you from experience that a guy often goes along with his wife's demands, especially when she uses the kid they share as a threat. (You'll never see him again kind of thing). My sister-in-law turned my brother against our family, and in doing so, she cut an aunt, an uncle and cousins out of her kids' lives. <br><br>There was a famous study done many years ago involving monkeys. (Bear with me, there is a point here). Baby monkeys were raised without their mother. They were fed with a bottle, and snuggled with a terry cloth towel. When it came time for the "orphan" monkey to have children, she did not know how to cuddle, nurse and love, not having those things in her early life. <br><br>Look at the way that Bristol was raised, by a controlling, selfish mother, someone skilled in manipulating people and getting her way, but not very skilled in the kind of selfless love that other kids enjoyed in their childhood. Bristol is like the monkey raised on terry cloth, so she is still a selfish child (like Sarah) who flies into a rage when she doesn't get her way or things don't go the way she plans. Unfortunately, she jerks Levi around with her on her roller coaster life. <br><br>I think that you have to be patient, let their drama play out, and always love your brother. If and when he needs you and your mother, be there for him. You are capable of that kind of selfless love; Bristol isn't. And, please, continue to speak out and tell the truth. It makes you strong and believable.

It is not ok for people to lie to shift blame onto someone else so she (or he) can appear blameless.<br>FYI: it is best to have no contact with a personality that slings their mud, thier behaviors (projection), assignates other's character using people as a dump abusively.<br><br>When you know you have stood up for your self twice and the other person will not stop and they say worse things it is time to remove yourself from the person. It is their problem. Caution: people will often blame the victim for they have not ever been around someone who escalates when someone stands up to them. Typically such a personality will recruit others to their bully group via more lies projecting their victim is "attacking" them to divert attention from themseslves while milking false sympathy and enablers.<br><br>Any relationship in which one or both parties lay false blame onto others is going to be a train wreck and nonstop blame shifting. People can't change what they deny. When you stand up for yourself, remember it's due to self respect. Let go that someone who is not capable of self respect is capable of respecting others. Lesson: people who lie about their self habitually will also lie about other people. It is not due to any fault of or lack of character of another as the traits, misdeeds, mistakes the self deceived seek to off load onto other people.<br><br>My dear, you could waste your life setting boundaries and giving them back their stuff. It is time to disengage from people who seek to "win", foster division, wage war on others instead of being the best person they can be.<br><br>Here is a hug for I understand how surviving hardships, awareness and empathy for the effects of a parent's behavior often becomes a firm commitment to not ever hurt, harm nor scar anyone as was done to you and loved ones. Personalities that "feel good hurting others", Bristol it seems know people's wounds and get sick kicks hurling salt into them then watching you writhe from more pain. It's called mental torture..like a sick kid tortures an animal..fascinated he has the "power" to get the animal to squirm or suffer. This is abuse of power, destructive power. Inflicting harm, hurt or cruelty will not ever relieve or satisfy the pain in the afflictor or torturer's self. Their denial is too deep and they can not facse their own pain or misery choosing to inflict it on other people.
