In denial, yes. But despite half of “The View’s” roundtable trying to coax her to say otherwise, the world’s most infamous mother of 14 refused to confirm that she was, in fact, crazy.
In fact, to the horror of snarky entertainment commentators everywhere, Nadya Suleman showed glimmers of self-awareness.
Suleman, eight of whose children turned 1 last month, made a lucid point when “View” ringleader Barbara Walters asked if she thought she was “all there.”
“In true genuine mental illness, if you’re exposed to extraordinary stressers, you will, most likely, not be able to tap into yourself and pull out the reserves “… resources and strengths you need survive and to continue to stay afloat,” she said. “If I were genuinely mentally unstable, I would have drowned.”Suleman, 34, did admit that even when her brood was at a mere six, she thought she could do it all. Which would be in line with many women, except for the scope.
“I believe, in my mind, I was fooling myself,” she said, admitting she tends to rationalize things. “I was told I had this time frame with regards to fertility. So, in my head, delusionally thinking that I could finish (getting a master’s degree), that I could have one more baby after the (first) six, that I could continue and earn enough money to take care of them.”
Asked by Whoopi Goldberg if “a mind thing” led her to more than double her family, Suleman replied, “I was in denial for so many years thinking, ‘Oh, I’m so smart, I have a year left for my master’s, I can do it all. I’m strong. I study all night long. I’m taking care of my kids, all six of them, no help at all. Not one nanny.’ So I’m thinking, ‘What’s one more from six?’ So this happens.”"This” is a rather Pearl Harbor way to sum up fertility treatment that ends in eight simultaneous live births.
“It took this monolithic experience of having eight simultaneously to completely wake me up and alter my mindset permanently,” she said.
Well, maybe not too permanently. Asked whether she was done with giving birth, she said “yes” about five times and immediately followed with: “Some day far, far, far in the future, when they’re older, if, God-willing, I meet somebody. I don’t want any more alone, but I’m not going to say 100 percent, ‘No, I’m not gonna someday far in the future get married and want a baby with that person.’ ”
Suleman also said she sleeps two hours a day in order to have enough one-on-one time with each child, is writing a book, and lost 145 pounds because she was paid to do so, “and I’m the first to admit it.”
