I've seen that statement all over this board and I've been around enough crazy people in my life to know that Little Edie was crazy. I'm sorry, it's the truth. Madonna in Truth Or Dare, that is playing it up for the cameras, this is not. There is some mental illness in here.
shareOf course it's mental illness, but they are full aware that the cameras are filming them. In one scene Edith even says to the Cameraman not to waste his film on one of Edie's rants.

I'm watching it right now before I head out to church; and it is so sad the way they were living. Did the rest of the Bouvier/Kennedy family disassociate themselves because of embarrassment about the mental illness with Lil Edie? Big Edith seems normal....just remembering the glorious past from time to time.
My goodness...where were their family/friends to give them some sort of help?
"OOhhhooo....I'M GON' TELL MAMA!"
Some posters stated that they seemed happy but I disagree. They spent a lot of time talking about what could have been and what was. Mom talked about how pretty she was, how rich, how pretty her daughter was and could be now & how her daughter could have married rich. Daughter talked about how she hated living out in the country and a dump in NYC would be much better.
They both talked at the same time and I guess they did enjoy trying to drive each other crazy.
I thought it was sad and wondered why rich rich Jackie couldn't sent them some sort of allowance.

Big Edie did seem pretty comfortable in her own skin. One moment that particularly stood out to me was when she stated that she'd had a very good life. No defensiveness in her voice, no false affect, just an even-toned simple statement.
That's not to say she was a happy person, but she was definitely more at ease than her daughter.

Nothing to see here, move along.

That's true. She did seem more well adjusted than her daughter.

I wouldn't call big Edie normal, you can't be normal and live in such horrific filth.
