This could be true, however she could have also been abused as a child instead of the chemical imbalance. Mix the low self esteem from the abuse as well as the helplessness one can feel because of it mixed with drug and alcohol abuse will manifest the same rages and bizaare violent behavior. I agree basically with most of what you stated, just wished to add in that situations can also cause the manifestations of behavior you indicated. Victims of abuse as victims of rape have flashbacks during normal everyday events. There are rape and abuse experts who state that a woman or man can be having normal sex and suddenly believe they are being raped or abused again much like the Vietnam Vets. Post Traumatic Stress. Many daughters of men who were in the military for more than one term of service can be very strict as well as abusive. Especially during the time Lou Brown was in the Military in Germany. Just a bit of info I picked up here and there. Usually if the person in the military has even one boy the pressure on the girls isn't as bad. No one can explain it. I think it has to do with the stress and how much the men drink when they are kids, the inconsistent behavior. Sorry for digressing so far but I believe a lot of the entire Brown family falls into this catagory. Denise had not spoken to Nicole for six months because she had done something that really angered Nicole and it has never been leaked. Yet she was there that night at the recital and dinner. WHY?
