S05.E16: Where are the now? Brittani and Sean - Page 4 - My 600-lb Life

Knowledge

I'm not going to try to diagnose Sean's mom, but just from what aired in his two episodes, this is what we know:

From a senior in high school, at 400 pounds, he gained another 500-600 pounds over the next eight years living with mom.

After his fall, why couldn't he go to school in a wheelchair?   Crutches?  I guarantee no orthopedist would say to keep him bedbound.  Was there more to this story than a fall?   (speculation - was there an issue with Sean's mom and the school?) 

Why didn't mom home-school him or get his assignments or tests to be able to complete his senior year so he would at least have the diploma that most employers want to see.  Or he could have done the GED then.  Why hasn't he in all these years?   Why, Mom??

Why is he on 30 different meds that Dr. Now doesn't believe he needs?  How did he get them?  How does he maintain prescriptions for that many meds without seeing a provider on a regular basis?  How, Mom???

Why did Sean gain 100 pounds over a couple of months after the initial visit with Dr. Now?  I remember Dr.  Now asking her how it happened and she pretended to be clueless.   Let's just say he wasn't given a prescribed diet (unlikely).   What the hell was she feeding that boy?  It wasn't Lean Cuisine, I guarantee you.

Why does Mom think it's always best to bump up his calories?  Really? 

Why does Mom think Sean is pushing himself too much walking from the living room to the bedroom?   Sheeeesh!!!!

Sean wouldn't be at the hospital with Mom directing orders to Dr. Now if not for her continuing to feed Sean.  He's there BECAUSE OF MOM!!!!

So I've repeated things already said by others and left out some, but I'll stop my rant now.

As for Sean, I felt sorry for him this episode.  I hate what she has done to him.  But I don't think it's too late for Sean to be rehabilitated with the right programs and counseling as long as Mom stays away. 

The End.
