Hey, sorry...it's gonna happen. Soon the final appeal will be turned down. The NY Post probably already has the cover ready...

Schindler's Last!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled message board.

1. It should be Schindlers' List (to reflect the family members)...

And that "list" should include the family issues which contribute to bulimia (the original cause of Terri's brain damage):

In a second study, Humphrey (1989) compared observations of family interactions among anorexic, bulimic-anorexic, bulimic, and normal families. A total of 74 triads participated, including father, mother, and teenage daughter. Each family was videotaped during a ten-minute discussion of the daughter's separation from the family. The tapes were encoded using the SASB model and observational schema. The analysis of the 34 bulimic families, showed that the bulimics and their parents were hostilely enmeshed.

Bulimics and their mothers showed a hostile relationship which was manifested by a greater percentage of mutual belittling and blaming as well as sulking and appeasing than found in normal families.

The fathers of bulimics were relatively more watching and managing as well as belittling and blaming their daughters.

As a result, the daughters showed more sulking and appeasing toward them.

In general, the parent-child relationships in bulimic families show minimal affection and minimal support in their interactions and are instead hostilely enmeshed.

Both parents and daughters are mutually blaming and controlling of each other in their interactions.

The daughters' efforts to assert their separate needs are undermined by hostility.

The author concludes that the metaphor model of bulimia may be accurate in suggesting that bulimics and their families crave nurturance, protection, and empathy, and when they are unable to find them, they turn to inanimate objects or altered states for comfort, such as food or alcohol. Bulimic families project their hostilities outwardly and seem unable to modulate them internally, so the bulimic may learn to relieve her own feelings by expelling them through vomiting (Humphrey, 1989).

Note: I separated the second paragraph into its individual points.

Of course, no one (MSM Hairdos) is talking about the family issues.

2. bulimia/anorexia = slo mo suicide

What a tragedy that it went that far and no one rescued that girl and sent her off to rehab. She needed intervention THEN, not now.
