I spent today helping my daughter paint her house. While we painted we listened to Twilight on audio book. I read the book before and saw the movie but didnt realize til now how love addicted Bella is. I dont know if the author intended it that way. She totally idealizes her vampire boyfriend in an unhealthy way. Its scary to think this is what young girls in society are reading and watching in movies. I just hope those young girls realize this sort of obsession is unhealthy.

Oh yeah Run,
I agree with you, and see Bellas behavior as totally LA, so much so that the last movie was really annoying to watch, Its extreme Co dependent LA behavior. I hate to think that I can be like that sometimes or even one third of that! And also worries me the message that it gives to young women. Has anyone ever seen the vampire soap opera True Blood? Sookie stackhouse is also like that, about Bill Compton, this is another example of scary La, maybe these shows should be compulsory to watch in the recovery process, lol, as what to watch out for regarding unhealthy behaviors and LA. It would be well to remember to that the male lead in these shows play unhealthy LA tendencies also. mgb.xo

MGB, Now that I think of it Edward seems a bit odd too. I mean he is what hundreds of years old and the only one on the planet right for him is Bella? hmmm
ps I like your screen name. I have always loved those cars.

So true Run,
They showed her basically waiting on him for months writing emails to his sister and then they brought in the triangle of Edwars vs. Jacob, it's so classic LA!
MGB- i love true but i had to stop watching it for various reasons, Sookie's unyielding devotion and unhealthy attachment to Bill being one!
Telmita I'll have to check out your blog.
Vampire Diaries is the same way---obsessive love, then a possible triangle looking, it's so all passionate and exciting, filled with ups and downs, the things us love addicts just eat up!
