Did you explain the whole story somewhere and I missed it? Or cliffs? nope, i havent said the whole story but basically: one of my best friends is being sent to rehab for an unknown amount of time without any contact to the outside world for eating disorders and i really dont think this is going to be good for her umm..ok, seriously... does she have a disorder? does she admit she has one? if the answer is yes to both..then rehab will most likely help...and the reason for no outside contact is to not allow her to have a "crutch".. if the answer is no to the second one, but yes to the first, then hopefully rehab will help her realize the problem, admit to it and resolve it.... if the answer is no to the first one, then she's getting shafted...and rehab is just a means to punish... and the "crutch" is someone like urself (not pointing fingers, just an example)who feels as though rehab isn't going to work. (assuming there's an actual problem there) like someone mentioned earlier...instead of being a "crutch" be a "piller" someone who supports the decision (again, assuming there's a problem) and is supporting her getting better through this process... and in any case, i wish her all the luck in the world and may God (or whomever she/u believes in) watch over her and help her through this... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee she knows she has a problem and she wants to get better and yes, i do want her to get better even if it takes rehab but im afriad they are going to kill her personality and im going to miss her like crazy
