Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Wow - that just is sooo sad!! Obviously, your brother-in-law loves the girl!! Just to add to that.. we KNOW that our niece is going to die. My brother-in-law has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on inpatient care for her and there is no hope. She has been in several different hospitals, in therapy, he has tried everything to save her. Right now he knows there is not much more he can do. And this is his ex-wife's daughter, not his but he is the one taking the financial responsibility for this. Poor is skin and bones. It's not good.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 My brother-in-law is being a responsible adult.. unlike his ex-wife. This poor kid has nobody. Her father wants nothing to do with her or her sister... and their mother.. well, she's in and out of psych wards since the divorce and when she's out she pours herself into a bottle or into a white powder that goes up her nose. has no one other than and our family right now and she really doesn't know that the family knows about her situation. feel responsible since there is no one else. He makes serious money every year but has nothing to show for it because he's been paying for her treatment out of his own pocket. It's really sad. He lives in New York and the nearest facility that can help her is in Philadelphia so he makes that drive several times a week. The whole situation sucks.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 That poor little girl hasn't been given much of a chance, hey?? Maybe like Trudy said, this is the only thing that she can control in her world. Obviously, the bio parents should just never have had children. My brother-in-law is being a responsible adult.. unlike his ex-wife. This poor kid has nobody. Her father wants nothing to do with her or her sister... and their mother.. well, she's in and out of psych wards since the divorce and when she's out she pours herself into a bottle or into a white powder that goes up her nose. has no one other than and our family right now and she really doesn't know that the family knows about her situation. feel responsible since there is no one else.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 No.. it's very sad. Both her and her sister are bi-polar. They need medication and as long as they are taking medications their father wants nothing to do with them. The older one got into trouble in New York, crossed the judge in juvenile one too many times and he remanded her to a hospital til she was 18. She has been out for about 3 years now. Nobody knows where she is... has just turned 18 recently. is doing everything he can to try to save this little girl but it's hard. And she has said that her weight is the only thing she has any control over. She knows if she doesn't change things drastically she will die.. she can't seem to get well. It is probably one of the saddest things I am dealing with right now... or have had to deal with ever actually. Knowing that a child is starving herself to death on purpose is just one of those things that is too hard for me to wrap my head around.. Funny thing about is she has always been very very petite. She is under 5 feet tall, as is her mother, and for as long as I've known her, which is about 9 years now, she's been a little thing.. a pixie almost. I don't see where she ever got the idea that she had an ounce of fat on her cause she never has. Both her and her sister a cute as buttons and so sweet. When I met the mom, the older daughter was living with her father in California and she had with her. Then the older daughter came out to stay with her for awhile and the father didn't want her back. It's no wonder these two girls got screwed up. But it's such a shame that people will throw their kids away and that is exactly what this set of parents has done. If it wasn't for , wouldn't have anyone. On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 11:11 PM, Gloria <gadamscan@...> wrote: That poor little girl hasn't been given much of a chance, hey??

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Holy - bi-polar and bulimic!! Geez, must be a saint.Now, does the idiot father think that people who suffer from bi-polar disease, don't need those meds as much as food?? It's hard enough to get a bi-polar person to understand that they have to have the meds, whether they feel well or not. I know this because I had a sister-in-law who is bi-polar. It took a long time to get her to realize that she had to take the medication. In the meantime, I would have her two girls about 4 times a year, while she was having a manic bout. So, it was like being a single mother with 3 kids, all under the age of 5!!!Finally, she had a bout near the end of November one year. Then, they released her from the psych ward too soon. So, for two weeks leading up to Christmas, we tried to wait patiently to try to get the girls out. As it happened, she sent them to me in a cab, with a turkey and their jammies. That time, I told her that if she didn't stay and let them diagnose her properly, I was going for temporary custody of the girls. She knew I could, because Children's Ministry was beginning to take a real good look at what was going on. Anyway, she stayed, the girls went back and we passed a year without any further incidents. I moved out of town then and lost contact for awhile. But, she got a pretty good job and raised those girls all alone. It was actually the eldest one that died in the hospital on March 1st. No.. it's very sad. Both her and her sister are bi-polar. They need medication and as long as they are taking medications their father wants nothing to do with them.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The father is just that.. an idiot. And he doesn't believe in needing medication for anything apparently. a's big problem has always been her refusal to take the meds and her parents not giving her a choice. It should have been something that was just put to her like " this is how it is going to be.. period " is pretty much of a saint but I think it might be getting old for him. Her mother has already cost him WAY too much... and we warned him not to marry that one... jeez.. he was thinking with the wrong head.
