I understand why some people might feel the mother's actions are grief reactions and that she's in the worst place possible , but that doesn't mitigate her awful behaviour and the risks and strains she's putting other people under and the violation of a dead body she's insisting upon.
She must be out of her mind, but there's something extremely sinister about letting him exist like that.
I've looked after patients with difficult, aggressive and confrontational relatives, you find a way to cope and build a rapport, you give a lot of yourself in nursing. One of the reasons I think she's a complete narc is because she literally has no thought for anyone, not for Archie, not for her other kids, not for the nurses or the doctors, not for anything but herself. Archie will be a challenging patient mentally (they're violating a dead body) and physically and intellectually (ICU knowledge is beyond the simple mechanics of most nurses, they do chemical engineering, plumbing and electrics). She's there telling all and sundry he's being neglected in a death chamber, he's been starved and tortured and they're trying to steal his organs. This could be career ending for these nurses, or at the very least could have an enormous impact on them permanently.
If any of you have ever stepped foot in ICU you'll know the absolute vulnerability and brutality these patients face. They poo themselves, they need care even to clear the chest, every toenail and hair is cared for , they need to be turned and checked frequently, mouth and ear care is a must. That's the basics, they're doing this to a dead body. The patients look horrific, there's excretions and secretions and blood. Hollie isn't registering the shock people usually feel about the brutality of it.
Hollie thinks this is all ok, this is all justified behaviour so she can get her very confused point across. She's happy to leave her son like that, basically rotting, in order to fulfil her basic need for I don't know what.
Which brings me to my original point, which it's taken me this long to get to, bad things happen to bad people as well as good people. I don't see how calling Hollie out for what she is is unreasonable. Archie absolutely breaks my heart, he deserves better and many people who are calling out Hollie are doing so because they feel deeply that Archie's body is being used and exploited and it's very very upsetting and unethical.
