I work part time in an office for something to do since my kids have grown up. There is a girl there whose an intern. She's very sweet and we talk a lot. Recently she came in with a concussion and her mom wouldn't let her stay home to get some rest even with a concussion. I couldn't help but ask her to come home with me instead of go to class and the rest of her meetings because she needed rest. She agreed and I told her to lay down on the couch, she was asleep In seconds. She's not heavy at all, but she lives at home with her parents who want her to be perfect.Her mom was calling her fat and giving her diet pills.
Flash forward 2 more weeks she ended up in the hospital with a starved heart and high fever. She needs to go to an inpatient facility but her parents told her they would pull her insurance, not pay for her school etc if she did. I finally couldn't stand it any longer and when she was released she told her parents she was staying in a friends dorm for a little bit for convenience but really I have her with me. I started her seeing a therapist,forcing her to rest (I know I cannot legally force her to do anything but if I tell her to take a nap or that it's bedtime she listens so I do it to help her) but now I need to start re-feeding her. She's so fragile.
