Terrible Mother

Great story, but please do further research like I did. Charity relapsed a lot more than she states in the documentary. On top of that she blames all these guys and her mother for her issues, but she goes out an looks for men like that. She minimizes everything, and sets up foundations and plays a role like an actress , so as to hide who she really is. Hopefully I never meet anyone like her in my life, because she's the definition of toxic. Feel bad for the children they never had a chance at a good life.
