Quote From: mel_physioI just wanted to write a quick note to say that I personally know Aimee and her family and I think it's very important to make people aware that she has a VERY VERY supportive family! Every family has their problems, but Aimee's weren't anything more than the average persons. I think that people immediately assume that the parents were horrible people or something absolutely terrible happened to Aimee as a child,...but that may not always be the case. With that said, I do believe that Aimee has inner struggles that need to be dealt with and to this point she has not been able to do that with the support she has been given. I pray that through this experience that Aimee is able to have hope again and strength to get through the hard work ahead of her,...that she will have a renewal of her zest for life!
Do you think Aimee's parents, well-meaning as they are, have might have enabled her to remain anorexic?
Just like people that weigh so much that they can't get out of bed, people as emaciated and as deeply into anorexia as Aimee have to be getting some kind of assistance from their family to remain so enmeshed in their disease.
