I’ve struggled with Lisa since the beginning of the show – there is something about almost everything she says (and does) that does not ring true. Now, could that be because of sexual abuse as a child? Yes, it could. And I certainly am not in a position to say it is or isn’t, but she is just too plastic to tell.And I’m not sure why everyone in the SO house that has an overeating issue is challenged by their LC to deal with it, but Lisa’s apparent anorexia is ignored. I mean, if you ever notice her in a small tee (which she always wears!) from the back, you can see her shoulder blades and spine! This does not APPEAR to be someone just naturally thin.
The problem with all this is…if she did, in fact, get abused as a child, all these self-defeating (and truly, Truly, TRULY annoying) behaviors would be a by-product of that abuse. The lying, the dependence, the immaturity, the eating disorder, etc. So we all have to be careful (including me) to not dismiss the abuse out of hand.
I truly believe she had no business “graduating” – she did none of the work. Oh…wait…my bad…she DID paint her bedroom!
