Has anyone been following the Christie Brinkley divorce?
I normally don't follow celebrity stuff unless it's Patrick Dempsey, then well ...)- but FoxNews has been covering this a great deal, and that's my channel, so ... but I'm looking through my DVR and see the Red Eye was accidentally recorded last night, so I'm watching it, and they're talking about "the latest", which, OMGoodnes .... what in the WORLD is our society coming to when this kind of crap is said!!!~
"Peter Cook, the estranged husband of Christie Brinkley, was said to be narcissistic by a court psychiatrist (Oh, so NOW we see a diagnosis as to why he was tossing $3k into porn each month?) during their publicized divorce trial proceedings on Tuesday.
Dr. Stephen Herman, the court psychiatrist, said that both Brinkley and Cook need therapy. Herman said that Brinkley needs therapy as "an outlet for her anger and feeling of betrayal" (okay, we can see this...) by Cook, who had an affair with 18-year Diana Bianchi, which ended their marriage.
Herman said Brinkley, who's been married four times, also "needs to start working on deeper issues," including "her choice of male figures." (Blame the victim? "It's your fault you married this guy though you had no idea he had a thing for teen girls and was addicted to porn" UHG!!)
Herman met 11 times with the parents, their 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter. He said Peter Cook is a "narcissist" who constantly needs to have his insatiable ego fed. Cook, a Hamptons architect, "needs constant reassurance that he is a terrific guy," Herman said in the report. (UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!, I thought the idea behind therapy for narrcissim was to overcome the desire to think the world should revolve around you!! This QUACK is doing the opposite!!)
Prior to the scandal, Brinkley described Cook to an interviewer as "just the greatest father."
The primary focus of the trial has been on Cook's teenage mistress and his Internet sex activities. He has apologized for both. (He's sorry he's having to publicly admit what he done ... he's sorry he got caught ... if he was truly sorry he would have apologized before the trial, but these apolgies happened in court!!)
The court heard testimony last week from Cook, 49, and Diana Bianchi, who was 18 during their affair in 2006. Cook said he gave Bianchi a $300,000 payoff, had sexual encounters with her in his office and Brinkley's Hamptons homes, and spent thousands of dollars on online pornography.
Narcissism is a borderline personality disorder, first diagnosed by Sigmund Freud, who named it after Greek myth of Narcissus, who was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.
Narcissism, the borderline mental illness, is the act of extreme self-love, self-centeredness and self-regard."

Disclaimer: I haven't seen what's on the rest of this site, it's the first one I found the quotes for the topic on ...
When did it become OKAY to act like this? At the rate our society is going, NO ONE will be accountable for ANYTHING because we can just claim to be ill!!
How about we all come down with "acute plagarism" and sell other people's work and expect to get paid for it because it's our illness. Huh? What do you think?

There's no justification for sin Wendy, the world tries to think there is, but there just isn't. The more I work with helping the men and women in recovery in our ministry, the easier it is for me to find their statements as 'justifying' and God enables me to point it out and lead them to taking personal responsibility for their choices.
ReplyDeleteThere's no excuse for p*rn or internet affairs. period!
Celebrities make me ill just reading about their lives, so I gave that up. I have enough cases in my own file box to be concerned about, than to read about everyone else's cases. ;O)
While their choices make me ill, I also feel sorry for them that they don't have the Lord as their Saviour and Guide.
