I've heard so much about how Saving Amy is a terribly written, dramatized bunch of rubbish (therefore I refuse to read it) and I have a feeling Mitch's book is going to make it seem like everything was always okay.
Why do we care so much? It's so frustrating.

She is such a profoundly complicated, massively intriguing individual.,,,,,,,,,,,Why do we care so much? It's so frustrating.
I think you answered your own question. We care because she was who she was. I don't try to understand her. I love her unconditionally. I think she touched us in ways that defy language. I can only say she touched me at an emotional level that no one else has. You can't analyze true love. I just happens. I honestly believe she was destined to burn bight and die young. She was rare type of human being that might come along only once in a lifetime if you're lucky. I'm just grateful she happened in my lifetime.

I really feel that Mitch's book will be a honest representation of Amy, both good and bad.
At one point, Mitch was lobbying for better alcohol and drug education for young people. If Mitch sugar coats Amy's addictions and troubles in the book, then he is doing the foundation a diservice. Amy was CLEARLY not okay. Cutting, eating disorders, depression, alcohol, and drug use are not hallmarks of a person who is okay. Those issues (cutting, eating disorders, depression, etc.) are not unique to Amy, many young people struggle everyday. The only difference is Amy was a public figure, the world watched her daily struggles. The book is the perfect platform to address those issues and reiterate why education and foundations, like the Amy Winehouse Foundation, are so necessary. I definitely don't want Mitch to out Amy by telling too much information. But if the book pretends that everything was okay, especially from 2005-2011, then it would be laughable.

I think he was her very best friend and he even lived in her house towards the end of her life.
On the voice you can tell and he has admitted to recent alcohol addiction which I believed he propogated while hanging out with Amy.
But tyler has never sold a story or talked about her in any way other than to say she was his best friend. Everyone who has sold stories never truly knew her. And I think this includes her dad Mitch. Amy saw him as the main man in her life, and reportedly didn't touch a drug in front of him besides pot. I think she wanted him not to worry so much and as close as they might have been, he didn't know her true feelings about HIM. I think her dad really let her down in her childhood. I think she NEVER got over that.
Explains her codependency and addictions. And along with that she was called "manic Amy" by her classmates in school because she reportedly would cry or change moods at the drop of a hat, which is clinically described as bipolar or borderline disorder. I am so sad she went through life feeling so unsatisfied and sad. I also think.. Last thought. Amy was probably told by doctors that she would be unable to have children. As an addict alcoholic and anorexic it's pretty much a given that her body wasn't equipped to handle pregnancy. I think this would drive her drinking to exceeding heights and not give her much reason to continue seeking help. Or health.

I never thought of that but it's definitely a possibilty. Maybe that coupled with Blake having a baby by another women sent her over the edge.

Anorexia, bulemia, alcoholism and drug addiction ravage the body, and in those circumstances it is very difficult to conceive.
Since she said in numerous interviews that she wanted to have children, I think it's fair to assume that her facing difficulties to fall pregnant must have hit her hard. It's very painful for a woman to deal with the thought of not ebing able to bear children.

And I agree with you about Mitch having let her down as a child, and how she never got over that. I think it shaped all her future relationships with men, she was quite open about being a Daddy's Girl, she was always trying to get his attention.
I think Barney from HIMYM would've had field day with Amy, as she is clearly what he would define as a 'girl with Daddy issues'.

I understand that she doesn’t even have periods? Like many anorexics.’ ‘Yes,’ Janis agrees, ‘but she has said that she has [had periods] recently. It is hard to know where Amy is coming from, because what she says is, “Mum, don’t worry. I have got this in hand and I have got that in hand”. [But] Alex will say, “Mum, she is not telling the truth.”’
