@aethelwulfe you are wrong, and you missed the point. I am not encouraging anyone to lie. I am encouraging the mother to get help for her son. It is far more dangerous to do nothing to help a severely mentally ill person than to be fat. Obviously fat is not good, but it’s the least of their worries! I’ve been around enough hospitals and psychiatrists to know this as well as mental illness in family members. When you get a degree in psychiatry or have gone to hell and back suffering from a mental illness like many of us have, then speak to me.
