Tonight's rant on the last couple eating videos...
The sad reality as we watch 36 year old Jessica, whine and witch...obsess over her dessert, hunched over with her face an inch away from her plate one hand touching everything on the plate helping scoop enormous amounts of food onto her fork where she can barely open her mouth wide enough to shovel it in ....is that she will never change now....it's simply too late.
Val, over the years of isolating Jessica, removing any and all professionals , not enrolling her in therapy , classes, continuing with her braille, any adult outreach programs...has pretty much undone anything Jessica had previously learned while attending school of in therapy...including toileting , using her cane, interacting with her peers, following instructions and learning how to control her obsessing .....I doubt Jessica had as much anxiety while attending school and being AWAY from Val and the chaos and depression of her life.
Once Val was put into a corner as Jessica was aging out of school the adult programs expect more from their " students" because they've been taught for years on social skills , toileting, hygiene the basics.
The thing with that is it MUST remain routine and consistent ..we know Jessica loves routine ..so what happened?
Val....that's what happened....Val stopped with the daily routines Jess had followed for years while in school... Because Val started her blogging...her outlet to cry about her having no life of her own.... This is when Jessica started getting confused because her routine was all over the place, and Val as we know can't complete anything...or follow through with anything.
When you have teachers, therapists school, classes etc... Involved daily it becomes your way of life and those professionals SEE everything ...Val was under a microscope when Jess was involved with professional people....
Once Jess aged out of school... Val felt that freedom of only part time volunteer placements and a class or two... It was freedom for Val....and less routine for Jess.
It's easier to hide your lack of work, lack of consistency , lack of follow through at home and hide the fact Jessica struggling with change when there's no teachers around, or therapists, or home assignments....we know Jessica has a big mouth and has no problem telling teachers, therapists , doctors that she's not continuing her braille at home, or following her routine, etc....
So.....Val removes Jessica from the autism community where she was already being advised to get Jessica checked for schizophrenia.....her manic behaviours , voices and violent outbreaks proved there was more than autism affecting Jessica .
So Val hides Jess away, there's zero professionals to see her severe decline, the huge setbacks including the basics, hygiene, toileting, her diet, her lack of exercise, the fact Jess has zero activities with peers outside the house, right down to her anger and whiney behaviours.
Jessica is always with family or well trained Marlow to intervene ....answer for Jessica or convince her it was a dream of she spills the beans on family secrets.
Abusers isolate their victims, speak for them, threaten them, gaslight them, control them...convince them they are wrong.
Unless APS steps in to work with Val and get her the mental help she needs or gets Jessica out and into an adult facility where she can have her own space working with peers and professionals actually growing learning real life and social skills.... Beyond the 30 year egg cracking plan she's on with Val. I don't see Jessica having much of a life as she further regresses and forgets anything she's learned.
Watching a supossed 36 year old woman hunched over her plate like a monkey shovelling food into her mouth, food falling out as she talks her cheeks bulging with half chewed food....is an utter disgrace and simply puts this severely IDD human being, who legally is unable to conscent to being USED for profit.
Filming Jessica unwashed, bedhead, braless, in her pajamas, bandaids all over her face, open infected sores, provoking meltdowns, watching her struggle while her mother says she's nauseated by Jessica's eating , Marlow and Hannah laughing at Jess... All of this is criminal ...absolutely criminal.
