Hence why I didn't say *all*. "Usually" does not mean "all".

And to say that he could have hospilitazed her and that would have fixed everything is is just nieve.

Nope. Sorry, but believing there was a *possibility* that her being in the hospital for her disorder just *may* have prevented her collapse is NOT "nieve" (naive). It's called using one's brain while trying to come up with solutions.

Oh, and you're not the only person who knows someone with or having had an eating disorder. Thanks. Maybe I should have mentioned that I once got help through Overeaters' Anonymous at one point (I used to eat "Claim Jumper" sized meals about twice a day, and couldn't go 30 minutes without some kind of food. I'm quite happy those days are long gone.). And yes, I ended up with the problem due to very low self-esteem, which was fed by my highly chauvanistic, controlling, and belittling ex-husband, who couldn't get over the fact that I "just wasn't nice to look at as the girls at the strip bars", which he would tell me all the time.
