I wouldn't particularly describe her as a train wreck but rather a woman in her 70's who got intellectually overwhelmed by her religious beliefs.
This is what happens when a bogus over powering religious cult takes control of people's intellect and mind set.
You have to levie some respect for her though in that she and her husband really thought its was in their children's best interests to
amerce her children into the JW faith as a form of protection.
She reminds of my own mother in some respects, we all know now that protection from the evils of the world brought about
its own diverse harm on to individuals by this religious organization/cult.
You must keep in mind that the Jacksons didn't come from the rich and privileged part of society, the family originally grew up in a poor and crime ridden
suburbs.
