 just went on another amy deep dive (watching a shit ton of interviews/live shows/amy 2015 doc) and got to thinking.

 

mitch left the family and it's very clear it took a huge toll on amy. he left the family for another woman which i can only assume felt like extreme abandonment and sparked something destructive in amy. when blake left amy for his ex-girlfriend (pre-b2b) i wonder if it sparked that box shoved under the bed all over again ???

 

although, her father and (then) fling/boyfriend are two completely different relations, they were both men who she strongly admired, leave/push aside her for someone else.

 

what do you think? am i reaching or could it be a possible emotional occurrence?

I think Amy's abandonment by her father is the main trauma, even though she's always said she can handle it. And she also sings it in her song What it is about Men? She was desperately looking for something to hold onto in her life and unfortunately for a while that was Blake. At the beginning, Amy tried to tell her parents about her bulimia, but both of them! didn't take them seriously. And the fact that she later told her parents that she was fine, even though she wasn't, means to me that she had the feeling that telling her parents about her problems wouldn't help anyway. If you look at the scenes at Paddington Station where they are going to the Eden Festival. As soon as Blake moves away from her, she runs after him in a panic. This whole scenario is strange anyway, Amy was already a superstar at the time, why didn't they take a tour bus? Why did they expose her to photographers and the public like that, it was unnecessary? Another example of absolute negligence on the part of management.
