Well, she definitely had a personality disorder. Spoiled, undisciplined / entitled as a child, overindulged, pampered as beautiful children often are??? Reminds me of Veda from "Mildred Pierce". As for why she was surrounded by enablers, these types always are. Perhaps they wanted her money or social status by association, so had to remain in her good graces. Was her name Evangeline?
She was evil. But possessed? You didn't describe her violent, sadistic behaviors ... and you don't need to if it's too difficult here. A person possessed will be like a light switch ... they have a completely different personality that turns on and off instantaneously. Their face and eyes will change and become vacant, but pure evil. They can exhibit enormous strength, and become very violent. They can be calculating and methodical, or frenzied and out of control. You would sense a malevolent presence of unspeakable evil.
I believe Ted Bundy was possessed. Not just because he was a serial killer, but because he was "normal" most of the time. Charming. Had friends (including Ann Rule). Maintained a normal life. But then, according to witnesses, he would change and become someone / something else. We saw this during his trial when he suddenly lost his composure and became outraged. He was no longer able to control when Ted came and went, he was taken over, that's why his last killings were a spree. I've studied serial killers for over 20 years, since I was a Criminal Justice major. Not all of them were possessed, but I believe Ted definitely was.
Oh no she was hardly a spoiled nor indulged child. She was a bastard child, father unknown, (born in 1923) raised by a drunken stepfather and low intellect Mother in poverty in a small coalmining town in PA. Hardship aplenty and typical drunken, low class lifestyle. She married out of that at age 17 to a man who was both a lawyer and a pilot (war vet). Her 2nd husband is the one who raised me, also had money and I think between husbands she only dated men of means as well. Her name was Ann.
Now the "light switch" fits to a T. She swung from humming placidly as she did housework to a sudden fury.
And YES could appear totally normal and pleasant when choosing to; she was a gracious hostess (1960s cocktail party days) and a fun friend; until she wasn't. Which could be at the drop of a dime.

Sounds like it. Does anyone talk to you about her behavior? It doesn't sound like it was a secret. What did they think was wrong with her?

"high strung" "nervous" were the WORST things said.
Mostly she was let to do as she pleased; the adults could get away when it got too much. I as a child could not so I was a handy toy as I was trapped. Excuses were made I am sure if neighbors said anything but I have no recollection of anyone ever making a thing of her behavior. Father lavished her (and I, to be fair) with expensive gifts and licked her toe jam and groveled; live-in Spinster Aunt Mary was all like "Yassum whatever you say Missus" and the other relatives ignored and avoided.
Another fun fact: ZERO substance abuse. I mean, zero. I never saw alcohol in the house unless there was a party/social gathering and drugs were nonexistent, prescription or otherwise.

High strung snd nervous sounds very different from sadistic and evil. Was she only violent with you? Smiling and getting satisfaction from hurting you? In private and secretly? If it was possession, she would literally turn into someone else. Her voice would have changed. You would have felt like you were in the presence of horrifying evil. One can do evil things without being possessed, but if she was possessed you absolutely would know it.
For instance, my mom was a very difficult woman to live with. She had abusive tendencies that were well known to a lot of people. She could turn on charm when needed. But she was not possessed. She just had a horrible mean streak.

Violent to the weak; I and her elderly Mother were the only weak ones, Spinster Aunt was shoved around a bit but mostly kept in check via scary threats and disgusting, vile and vulgar tirades. Obsequious Spouse, the same, add threats of leaving to it and vile dressing downs.
In private and in front of the others; made no difference. Bashing a door in with a hammer when I had locked it, I mean literally bashing through the wood to get at me (aged 8) is one example. "Dad" and Aunt witnessed. Door was replaced, nothing said. Nothing was done in any case by the observers. Ever. Not once. This is why I am a monster in my own right.
Yes it was a truly unusual case. If I had a ghostwriter it'd make a fascinating and horrifying book.

Incapable of emotion, other than envy (of anyone who has never suffered), and disgust (for self and others).
Those are truly the only two emotions I have ever felt. Took me years to realize this; I faked emotions a lot until I realized that was what I was doing.
Animal suffering sends me into a rage; but human suffering affects me not at all.
I would be a kickass hitman.
But I'm also ultra law abiding and risk aversive.

Sorry if I'm prying here...I'm interested. No love for children, grandchildren, husband, friends? You didn't respond with empathy or sympathy to your crying babies as infants or when they got hurt? How did you feel on 9/11? If you care to share ...
I've truely enjoyed the response to this thread. Can we stay on topic though? I think asking overitall for details on their personality is straying from the original topic.
