So okay. She is now threatening suicide if she doesn't magically get $300k. She is making her parents and her also fucked-up brother's life hell as best she is able. She categorically refuses to do anything around the house or take any action to change or improve her situation (like getting on actual disability or getting a job or trying to move out). I guess trying to extort money from CMU is her "plan," to the degree she has one, but it's not like she's actually suing them or taking steps to sue them.
Obviously we can't see everything behind the scenes here, but given that she's making suicide threats and (besides being horrible to others) is clearly suffering in some private nightmare of subjectively experienced abuse and paranoid persecution, why the fuck haven't her parents done what's necessary to institutionalize her? I'm starting to blame them for enabling this. It's not like ISH is happy with her situation-- she hates it.
This reminds me of someone who has a miserably sick and ailing and dying pet but who refuses to have it put down because they are selfishly sentimentally attached to it being alive. I feel like if you care about something you gotta do what is best for it, and ISH very very clearly needs in-patient mental health treatment.
