Quote From: nasale for her superior nasty attitude. She REALLY needs to walk in the shoes of someone who is going through this. I never had body dysmorphia but I know what it's like to have the self-loathing and hatred. This is a carbon copy of my life and I never got over the anger and resentment I felt for members of my extended family. There is no possible way that the surgeries are going to 'fix' something that is so deep -seated. It manifests itself in many ways but this is just the symptoms of how it surfaces. There is NO WAY no matter how she mouths the words that she even begins to understand her sister. If she did, she wouldn't be on her extremely high horse. There but for the grace of God, sister!!!!!!
I know that I probably seemed unsympathetic towards my sister. She neither has walked in my shoes. I am married with 2 wonderful children and I am very busy. My day starts at 6a.m. and ends at 11 p.m. My children and husband wake up in the morning to a healthy breakfast that I have prepared for them. I help them get ready and they are off to work and school. I work out for 30 minutes and then I get ready for work. My huband and I have been blessed with a wonderful business in real estate. I leave work at 3:00 to then get my children and take them to their activities. My son is very acitve in sports - golf, football, basketball etc. and my daughter is acitve in soccer, ballet and basketball. Our activities end usually at 6:30. We usually are home by 7:00 when I start dinner, clean the house, do the laundry and help with homework. By this time it is 9:30 and the kids go to bed. I continue to do the rest of my housework and take a break by watching the 11 o'clock news. I love my life and wouldn't have it any other way.
I have also been there for my sister through all of her turmoil. I have spent countless hours listening, arguing, laughing and praying for my sister. She needs help now more than ever. I wanted Dr Phil to know that her disorder is out of control and that we need a strong therapist or psychiatrist to give her the much needed medical care. My sister made an appointment with the psychiatrist after the show and then rescheduled because she thought that she was not presentable enough to make the appointmet. This is exactly what I was trying to point out to Dr. Phil.
Sorry if I seemed rude or cruel - that was not my intention.
