But was she, in fact, sick when she made those alleged statements about not wanting to be hooked up to tubes?
And, as I recall....Michael said she was binging and vomiting all the time. For a long time. She was very overweight in high school, and lost a lot of weight for her wedding. So, just perhaps it was a problem at the time. Bulimics just cannot stand not to look perfect, they are obsessed with their appearance, to the point of sickness. It is often hidden from everyone. They simply cannot accept imperfection - hence, this could also be the reason that the thought of living "on artifical life support" would have been so repulsive.
But, in a natural state of mind, it would not have been an issue for a person so young, immature, and inexperienced. I mean, at 20 years of age how many of us ever made a definitive statement about life? We felt that nothing could harm us. If she were so obsessed, that would have been part of her psychosis. IMHO.
I just think that professionals could explore this and, hopefully, to some good end.
