<human>: *This is a throw-away account to protect my families identity.*

**Background:** My sister is very, very sick. She has a severe eating/body image issue that has led to type 2 malnutrition (this is what my father told me) and liver issues resulting in her being hospitalized. She has not left my parent's property for around 6 months except for late night runs to Meijer or the gas station.

She also is a former addict (heron) with some kind of emotional disorder. Shit runs pretty deep in our family, bi-polars and schizophrenics all over the place.

Four years ago she had a break and had to move in to my parents' home (they are retired now.) She helps around the house and pays rent with her SS payments, something the rents decided on after several attempts to get her back on her own.

She has had a few part time jobs in the past years and it really helped her to get out and meet people and live some kind of normal life. She told me that the last job she had did some restructuring and is allowing her to work from home. Of course this is bullshit she tells us to make it seem like she is trying to get better.

Before her last hospitalization she weighed maybe 90 lbs. She now has put on some weight due to her liver not functioning correctly. This has led to her felling even worse about how she looks.

We are very concerned about her. While I didn't mention this to my parents, I feel like she is going to maybe not be with us for very much longer. We need to do something.

When confronted about these issues she become very defensive and clams up/cries/blames others. Trying to get things through to her is pretty useless. When talking to the rents this weekend, I mentioned getting a professional mediator that can help us do an intervention. They thought it was a good idea.

**I need help finding someone that can help us get through to her before it too late.** We live in SE Michigan. Are there any professional mediators that can help us in this area?

Thanks.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
