dreadfulLeigh February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 I’m finding it difficult to muster ANY sympathy for Baby Casey. I get being scared of surgery (been there, done that) and the added stress of being morbidly obese, but he is one of the most unsympathetic characters on the TLC morbidly obese train wrecks. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/17/#findComment-5039785
Hellga February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 10 minutes ago, Pepper Mostly said: But Casey did have a job. We don't know what it was, but he got too fat to work, and rather than make some changes in his life, he quit his job. That's when his mother threw him out. I don't disagree that at this point he's used to being dependent and isolated and is afraid, at age 34, to resume being an adult. My impression was that he just worked fast-food when he dropped out of high school for a couple months, and probably not even full time. It doesn't sound like being an adult, but rather trying to obey Mom until he decided it's easier to go live with Dad. 1 minute ago, ShortyMac said: It's clear that Casey doesn't want this surgery. He doesn't want to change; he feels forced into it because of his other family members.

CrazyInAlabama February 7, 2019 Share February 7, 2019 (edited) I think Casey may be scared. His previous job was fast food, but after he hit about 500 lbs., he had to quit because he just couldn't do it any more. I bet that store's profits shot up the second he left their employ. OMG! His real first name is Steven! Now that's how you know your really big, they can't fit you in a scanner.

He likely finds it frightening. Where do you start when you have never held a job or had any adult responsibility at that age? I don’t even know how you fill out an application and explain the lack of work history. People will just think you spent time in prison. Does he even have any friends? Honestly, if I was in his position, I would find a support group for people of his size because they would likely understand why he has stayed inside. The one problem is that his cousins seem to have no problem getting up and going to work, making friends and just living their lives, so it’s hard to take him seriously about why his weight is holding him back. He is also very mobile so it should be easier for him to do exercise and lose weight. Perfectly explains Casey.....I agree with you 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89513-family-by-the-ton-general-discussion/page/17/#findComment-5039817
