If you think being on the benches with Susan Crandall around was hard, you should have tried being on staff with that crazy bitch. It was bloody awful. She and her then husband (jeff crandall) Had problems . So she would make ALL the staff stay for theses stupid staff meetings til 1200 or 100am, bitching at us, making people cry, feel bad, generally transferring her anger and frustration from her hell of a marriage to a former staffer using crack (which he was and was caught by an executive staff member smoking on the back porch of LIFe). there were few nice moments with her, and things could go from one extreme to the other.
Jeff sometimes would lead groups when she was around , and was truly a cruel critical bastard.
I heard SUsan Crandall got divorced long ago, remarried and was happy Good for her
I truly wish her well and hope she learned some more compassionate methods to deal with her children and others in this lifetime. Peace
