I don't think this jives with reports of what he was like as a mayor. I think Oz was just so incredibly bad that people didn't care.

He is absolutely the same person. This is always what he was.

According to former staffers, he REALLY thinks he has a shot at running for president.

The stroke blocks most of the brain sparks - this one just happened to get through briefly.

I humbly request we not use Dino anymore. That's just copying something the Republicans came up with, and there's absolutely no reason we need to copy anything they've been doing.

Could be a shitty wife. Could be a husband who burned up any compassion she had years before.

I don't know enough about her to judge her motivation.

I'm withholding judgement unless and until further details come out. Having mental illness doesn't give you a get out of jail free card for behaving however you please.

Depression can have some very difficult symptoms that are particularly hard on the support system of those who suffer from it. It's a disease that requires a lot of effort to manage, and many people simply refuse treatment. I'm not necessarily blaming them, as episodes can sneak up on you and start severely impacting your life before you realize how bad it's gotten. It's still on us to take steps to right the ship once we're aware of our situation, however.

The other option is to choose to do nothing, stay miserable , and suffer. It's, unfortunately, a choice I've seen many people make. When that happens, we can't expect those in our lives to support that decision and get dragged down with us. Perhaps Fetterman's wife had to make a hard choice for her own health and safety. Perhaps not, but I've seen it happen enough that I think it's quite possible.

Honestly, given his personality changes, I would not be surprised to hear that he's become verbally or possibly even physically abusive at home.
