The woman had poor nutritional direction growing up. I dealt with that, a generation that thought little kids who are chubby just have baby fat then overnight the child hits teen years and the excuses turn to criticism and snide unhelpful comments.
The worst part is that this woman has untreated PTSD. Also it seems like her sister has no clue as to what Erica went thru or more horrifying is that she knows and doesn't care. The husband is following the sisters lead. The brother is cool he simply couldn't leave his business, he wasn't cruel and probably knew that she back slid a bit because Molly seems like the type who enjoys giving bad news about her sister.
Best part of this show was Jessie and the Terapist!! Those two were the MVP's. Love the care Jessie took in caring for her aunt and not leaving her completely alone. The therapist was great! It is about time they got someone who can actually relate to what these people have been through and are going through.
I think a lot of Erica's anxiety on the show and her defeated tone had to do with the discovery crew in her home. There is a tremendous adjustment to having a full crew of people watching you talking about you in your space. That would be nerve wrecking without her past issues.
I really hope Erica sticks with that therapist she is great.
