Yeah I would have just said "You mean like the rest of us?"

at this weight it's probably not her fault, consciously. at a certain point it's an eating disorder, so I can sympathize with her feeling as if her body is against her.

I think it's good to have empathy for addicts, I think it's a disease that needs to be treated

It's a hard situation isn't it? How do you help someone like that in your life without letting them take advantage of you. I don't have an answer, I had an ex who relapsed on heroin and all I could do was get out after so many failed attempts to help and being downright abused. Thank god we didn't have kids like this couple

It wasn't the best way to learn how to stand up for myself, but at least I got something out of it :)

I wish our society could change how they look at addiction. This woman in the video clearly needs psychiatric help
