^^^ Okay, YUCK!

I watched the one the other day with the man who had SO MUCH emotional baggage and was an alcoholic.

He had been with his boyfriend for 15 years and his boyfriend was such an enabler.

I saw that. He seemed pretty stuck on the fact that no one acknowledged his relationship with his partner like they did his sister's marriage.

He kept saying that stuff like how much he wanted a wedding and that recognition of their partnership, how no one recognizes that they've been together longer than sister and hubby, how he's devalued because he's not hetero male with a family. There was a whole lot going on there and I agree that partner was not helpful.

I have about 8 episodes DVRd that I need to catch up on. But I like this show.

I saw the Nicole episode this evening. It's very sad on how she is treating her kids, having to use the microwave themselves. What if there was a fire? I want to hug Morgan. I don't blame her one bit for being upset with her mom. And it was gross the way Nicole pukes out food.

Okay, someone correct me. Is it true that she is 4'6"? Because I heard that she once weighed 63 pounds.

Nicole's father is a jerk. He told her to get over the molestation. Apparently, he doesn't know his daughter well. The least he could do is to have some sympathy after what Nicole has been going through.

Was that the lady with the feeding tube that she wouldn't take out (because she couldn't swallow or something)? Quite possibly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

For some reason, out of all of the episodes I found this one to be one of the more disturbing ones...

yes, this was the lady with the feeding tube that wouldn't face up to her problems and used the feeding tube as a weapon against everyone in the family.

This is incredibly hysterical, but also really sad.

Those twins are SO codependent it's sick.

It was so sad to see them talk to their sister that way when it seems like she tries so hard to connect with them.

Eating disorders are so sad.

She was like "if she doesn't get better, I can't be around her?"

And the way they got excited when they were going to the same treatment facility was a trip.

It's good that they got separate apartments.

I saw tonight's episode. It was scary. They are so thin that they leave imprints on their skin. That's one of the most disturbing episodes that I have seen yet.

Anyone watching tonight's episode? I love what Grandpa said.

"If he comes back and he's good, good, good. Then, he starts using drugs again. Is there some kind of warranty?"

Sadly, relapse is a part of addiction. (right, KSU? I know you're studying it.)

Yep. It is part of the disease.

I am glad that they got some help for his family (esp. the mom).
