“I feel a lot of sympathy for the young women I've written about, including Younger Janice. I think that all of them (me in Girlbomb, Samantha in Have You Found Her, and Elizabeth in I, Liar) had some early family trauma that contributed to their dysfunctional methods of dealing with the world, but I wouldn't call them/myself victims - survivors, maybe, but not victims. Nor do I think of them/myself as con artists.” ThinkingWorldFeelsYoungArtistFoundWrittenMethodVictimIncludingTraumaLiarsSurvivorYoung WomenCon ArtistSamantha Author:Janice Erlbaum
“Anybody who severs their own Achilles tendon, takes blood thinners to induce a hospital stay , or beats themselves with their fists hurts themselves as much, if not more, than they benefit from the attention they derive from their actions. Con artists usually benefit from misleading others without sacrificing anything themselves. All my girls have sacrificed plenty.” IfsActionArtistGirlHurtAttentionSacrificeBloodBenefitsBeatsPlentyHospitalsFistsMisleadAchillesMy GirlCon Artist Author:Janice Erlbaum
