If your mother or father demands you feed him or her and you say "no" then you have to deal with the verbal and maybe even physical abuse that may result. Children are conditioned at early ages to obey their parents, and it's almost impossible for a child to develop resistance to parental pressure. Ask any child who has been browbeatern by a "normal" parent to take dance lessons or play a sport he or she no longer wants to play, for example. Ironically, children who disobey their overbearing parents are viewed as rebellious and troubled in the majority of situations. It would take a very rebellious, angry, self-directed, and independent child to leave a morbidly obese, bedridden parent to lie in his or her own waste, wailing for food all day long.

I was watching Ruby on the Style Network, and she said something about how she never cooks, and she doesn't fit behind the wheel of a car, so someone has to cook for her or drive her to get fast food whenever she wants it. They all talk about how manipulative she is and how they just want to make her happy, and then they villify her ex-boyfriend because he tries to help her lose weight. When someone is that size, the loving thing to do is tell the truth and say no, not participate in the person's self-destruction. I have always wondered about that too.
