Yeah, and it sounds like she had a relatively decent immediate family experience (excluding the fact that her grandfather was a scumbag and she says her Uncle Donald lusted after her when she was younger).

I believe she's also pretty well respected in the psychology field. She seems like a reasonable and normal person. The fact that her hatred of her uncle really gets under his skin makes me think maybe the lack of approval issues that burden Donnie aren't limited to mommy/daddy rejection.
