Rosy sounds like she has bipolar and personality disorder, both are traits of schizophrenia (or called schizophrenia light). I have a friend who's wife has that and it's not a pretty thing to see I feel soo sorry for him. No one should be saddled with a person like that.
Wow, what a stupid, ignorant, discriminating comment about people with mental illnesses.
Firstly, personality disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are three eintirely different mental illnesses, even if some of the symptoms might be similar. There is absolutely no such thing as schizophrenia light Schizophrenia can vary in the severeness of the symptoms, but either you are schizoprhenic or you are not. I'm retired because of a chronic mental illness, so, unlike you I know what I am talking about.
Secondly to say noone should be saddled up with with a person like that is the epitome of nasty and discriminating towards people suffering from a DISEASE.
And you are talking about wether readers have a right to critisize a piece of fiction? That's just the epitome of hypocricy the way you slander actual living people.
