She said that the album was autobiographical plus artistic licence so really we still don’t know the full facts.
with regard to the abortion chat, it certainly sounded like gallows humour when I listened to the podcast and very reflective of the time, and of girls who are lost in one way or another, which as a pp has written, is very common, drink, drugs, chaotic lifestyle, abusive relationships etc can all lend themselves to learning to needing a termination or several.
as can conditions like adhd, mental illness, and various types of personality disorder , childhood trauma etc
all of which could easily explain many of the less savoury things lily has done and might also explain her lack of inhibition when it comes to publicising the disasters of her marriages.
if she has any of the above issues and possibly an eating disorder she is more likely to choose relationships which aren’t edifying for her and could easily believe that marriage like hers and David’s will work even if she doesn’t ultimately suit the terms and conditions, she might have overlooked her gut feeling or red flags because she could really want her happy ever after and sell herself short, shrink her self (literally in her case) to win the ‘love’ and approval of this man she had on a pedestal
with regards to the dog, the media did conflate that, she said that there’s been a catalogue of disasters, there’s been intervention and that dog was a poor fit for her family.
she had it rehomed. This is not in any way unusual for rescue dogs, many many people are landed with dogs with high anxiety and challenging behaviour which never goes away and some people do end up giving the dogs back or rehoming them because they’ve made a decision and they don’t take it lightly.
i think lily tends to sound abrupt and cold or try to gloss over things and use humour to deflect, the dog thing blew up and the abortion podcast came later and I think that as well as gallows humour, she may have over egged it somewhat following the media furore about the dog rehoming, in an ‘in for a penny in for a pound’ type of way.
