How The Johnny Depp Trial Shows the Sheer Torture of a Cluster B Relationship
We can all learn something from Johnny if you pay careful attention.
Cluster B Personality Disorder is defined as:
Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior. They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder-Wikipedia
When I first heard of this case, I wrote it off as more celebrity drama. I put Depp as the drunken abuser and his wife, Amber the innocent victim.
Then I started seeing memes and even read an article on Medium about how Johnny was no saint in the marriage either. I kept digging and what I found was Johnny is experiencing what many do in the world of dating a Narcissist, but his experience is put on a grand scale. The whole world is hearing about it and passing judgment.
Is Johnny Depp some saint that goes around blessing all the fortunate people to encounter him? Of course not. Is he a guy with his own shit that got wrapped up with a girl with severe mental issues that meshed with what he thought was the “one?” Yep.
It didn’t take much research about Depp to see what was happening. Throughout his youth his Mom moved him around 40+ times! That’s what he could remember in his interview with Oprah years ago when he first started his acting career. Talk about instability; that was it.
He said jokingly, “My mom liked to move around a little bit, it might have been 39 times, but I think 40.”
Amber was diagnosed with Borderline Personality and Histrionic Personality Disorder, if you don’t know anything about either, do a little research, and I’m surprised Johnny is still able to complete coherent sentences. I feel for the man, I know his pain. It is complete insanity, mixed in with a lot of delusion dating either of the personality types if the person doesn’t have awareness.
