I don’t see a way to edit it now. And I’m aware of the risks of exploiting my insights for money. It's a repeat of Tiffany's article - obnoxious, belittling, insulting and self -centered.
I do appreciate his honesty, and I also appreciate that family estrangements happen, and family members shouldn't beat themselves up too much about them, but his writing about Tiffany does betray a surprising lack of introspection.DS needs to realize he was in a family cult and got programmed a certain way about his sister who got massively scapegoated. This is one reason I walked away, these people saw me as a specific way, and I wasn't that person they saw or maligned. David's father was no angel, I don't know if he was a narcissist, David admits in the article he hit them, at the least he was an enabler to the narcissistic mother, if not one himself, but I got creeped out by this article too.
Thank you for this excellent analysis delineating the malignant narcissism expressed by David Sedaris towards his sister. And even if they do, I don't care.This statement was enough for me to decide the author should feel guilty for his part in not reaching out to Tiffany and potentially prevent her suicide.I'm a fan of DS but he could hardly expect to write what he did without receiving some pushback. She also stabbed David in the eye with a pencil, nearly costing him half his sight. I have just re-read the infamous article Now We Are Five, and I, too, found it immensely disturbing. At least my parents while better off, did not have money to send me away somewhere though I have very vague memories of a boarding school being discussed and a tour--remember seeing nuns and statues there and long staircases unlike my regular Catholic school and they decided they couldn't afford to pack me away. American culture it is now the norm for family members to compete with each other rather then to share resources like other cultures. Something very bad happened to her and I believe sexual abuse could be a possibility beyond the emotional and other.
At least Robin wasn't demoralized after death and his wonderful being is still celebrated. Was it justified? From everything I’ve read (and I once was a fan of Sedaris, actually read his very first piece in Harper’s when it came out back in the day), he is a funny, narcissistic, reflection of our shallow, narcissistic culture, which can be a great deal of fun when you’re not at the receiving end of the inevitable discharge. She never stopped being worthy of help.David Sedaris is a classic narcissist from a narcissistic family.
I hope you came out okay and did not face abuse. I did read in some of the blogs that people thought she may have been molested. If one is born into a life where your own family DGAFF.....then that is a hard row to hoe. Any suggestions?Everyone left behind after a suicide is going to process it differently. That's a strange premise.people are meaner and this administration is all for "you are on your own" and " we DGAFF about you (personal responsibility) has taken on a whole new meaning i dont like this if someone had just reached Tiffany and provided what she needed when she was younger she could have a whole different like and may be alive now ( we had other kids and could not worry about you) is NOT Parenting what a shame Yeah this administration has brought forth, the whole every one for themselves selfishness and narcissism as I wrote in that recent article.
Sometimes "the best they could" is just that... the best they could with what they had and what they knew and what the culture and society we're informing and urging them to do. Heck, he even comes right out and says something like: the blood of suicides splashes back on all of us. Telling me they destroy lives is a bit of hyperbole, sure if someone struggles with substance abuse issues and other problems, one has to protect themselves, but being cast out of a family sucks. This one uses my real name, and a photo of my small family. When you are the one designated to be the recipient of the angst and despair and cruelty of your family, it’s not so loving.I understand David’s need to write about it, but there is a selfishness there.
He stayed true to his art and wrote about what he knew even if it did disturb his sister.
