Octomom: Deep Thoughts and Living In Denial

It's been a couple of days since we've heard from Octomom Nadya Suleman. But it doesn't seem like much has changed. She's still broadcasting her life to the world as usual. Although today is a little special because she's apparently had a breakthrough—she realizes this 14-kids thing might be a bit overwhelming. So here's what she's saying:
- She uses denial to deal with the chaos: "It's a defense mechanism. I keep telling my head and rationalizing over and over that next week that [media attention] is going to die down. It’s eventually going to be to the point where we can leave and have privacy and no one follow us. I was lying to myself when I was like, 'It's not going to be that bad.' "
- She's discriminated against for being a single mom: "Since it's me and I'm single, [people are saying], 'How on earth could she handle it?' It's going to take a long time to prove not only to myself but to the world I can be a very good mother and I can take care of these children."
- Without the help of the media things would be worse. "I would have been forced to get assistance until I completed school. Government assistance."
- Her mom's kind of a jerkface: "She dismisses, disrespects everything I ever have to say, [and] she doesn't want anything to do with the babies." But later she psychoanalyzes that, and it's because of the Holocaust.
- And one day very soon, we'll have all of this in book form: "My goal is to write a book, and everything will be disclosed in that."
- Don't worry, we'll keep you updated on all future Octomom epiphanies.
