WICHITA, Kan. -- Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years - so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the man finally called police. It appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat, said Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple. The woman initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it." Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the boyfriend. "She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself." Story. |

That is so sad ... reminds me of the 'Sybil' story (sp?), and Dave Pelzer. I wonder exactly what she endured, as a child.
I am so thankful that my abusive experiences as a child have only lead to one suicide experience when I was young. Thankfully, I am much stronger now. Stories like this remind me of the saying, "There, but for the grace of God, go I."

Truly bizarre - some people seem to exist just to remind us that we are not as loco as we fear sometimes.

Actually, it's more like "There but for that woman who won't get off the can go I."

What worries me the most is that this made the news. What about the hundreds of heroic things that were done???

I don't feel sorry for someone, doing something destructive to call attention to themselves. I feel sorry for the stupid people feeding them For two years her "boyfriend" delivered her food to her. Did she ever brush her teeth? Did she ever bath? Did they ever have - you know what? Sorry, don't believe it. But, what is wrong with if you want to eat - you have to walk to the table?? Makes sense to me. How did you get too fat?  Weigh so much that you can't get up - I will not take you food. Get up and get it yourself. |

These are called enablers and they are getting something out of this relationship. Mostly the enablers are driven by a need to control, to have someone completely dependent upon them.
I hope this woman gets the help she needs but most of all she needs to get herself loose from this boyfriend who is enabling her to live like she has for the last two years. Had her boyfriend told her to go get her own food instead of bringing it to her in the bathroom do you think her situation would have gone as far as it did?

I remember when my father was terminally ill about 17 years ago. I went to see him, not knowing how bad off he was -- he'd lied about his situation and it took a nurse calling me "on the sly" to tell me he couldn't take care of himself. She'd found him on the floor and he would have stayed there if no one had looked in on him. He fought me every inch of the way, from calling Hospice to calling the home health aides (he weighed 70 lbs and was too fragile to be moved from the house), to paying his bills, to cleaning his house -- he was adamant that he just wanted to be left alone. I agonized over every decision, and it took another nurse to convince me that he was truly not in his right mind before I could overcome that impulse to do exactly what he wanted. And when he told me at the end that he hated me, I felt very guilty.
This couple was together for about 16 years and I'm sure their dynamic was set up that way -- he wanted to do whatever she told him she wanted, even when that came to holing up in the bathroom for 2 years. There's a reason she picked HIM and not one of the guys on this board who are saying how ridiculous it is. She knew that he would indulge her. He needed a "momma" to tell him what to do, and she needed someone who was there to "care for her" but not dominate her. He's probably in the 1 percent minority of people who would go along with such a thing -- but she managed to find him. I think it's interesting that he himself finally called for help. It's conceivable that with someone even more passive, it could have gone on for another 3 years and required a neighbor or repair person to intervene.

You know ... I suppose it's a fantastically wonderful thing that so many here are so perfect and handle everything in their lives perfectly. Good for you! Congratulations!
*sigh*
Now ... RD ~ although I know it is difficult, you really shouldn't feel guilty, you know ... you've said, yourself, that he was not in his right mind ... therefore, in a sense, it wasn't really him who said that he hated you. Reminds me of many children who will express hatred toward their parents for doing what is best for the children. They really don't know what they're talking about.
Edited for spelling error.

I'm just having the odd, sarcastic fit against those who are so extremely unsymathetic towards this woman's situation. |

I'm sorry, I've not seen anyone make any extremely unsympathetic remarks about her situation. I believe the boyfriend mishandled her neurosis from the beginning and I believe he may have some issues himself. I've seen other remarks that were somewhat crude but she clearly had a problem that needed to have been handled differently and perhaps even forcefully at least eighteen months ago. I don't see those type of suggestions, even though crude, as unsympathetic.

Just being curious here...how did she sleep?
There is no way I could sleep while on the throne.
Not being unsympathetic cause both the lady and her BF have issues but this is a story just begging to be made fun of.
At first I thought she was stuck but she stayed on her own accord eh?
