Her mother feels guilty for letting her get so big in the first place. Jeanne has a severe mental issue. Her comments about how no one could understand how losing a father is struck me as laugh out loud content for any comedian wanting content everyone could relate to. She has to know that every human born has a father.
Jeanne just refused to even acknowledge the Dr's logic regarding her weight loss when given a 1200 calory meal plan. She had lost half of her 100 pound goal while in the hospital trying to shake the infection in that growth on the back of her leg. I was actually expecting her to give credit to the clearing up of the infection for giving her that 50 pound loss, and since there was no more infection to clear up, of course the weight came back.
I really have to wonder about Jeanne's empathy. Who knows how the edits went down for that part of the story, but it sure seemed like her mother got the news of her husband's passing between the lines of the one sided call. Jeanne showed her mother zero sympathy. Left her mother sobbing in her bed, sitting upright. It looked to me like her mother was putting herself in a physical position for Jeanne to come over and at least attempt some physical attention, but no, Jeanne was more upset her getting home and being fed on time. Dr Now had an odd interaction when he came in the room to express his sympathy to her mother, yet not one word expressed to Jeanne, and he ignored her as he left the room.
I was expecting to see an announcement at the end of the show saying that Jeanne had died after her weight broke 700 pounds 6 weeks after her father's passing. Who knows, maybe it hasn't been 6 weeks yet
