Lorna Luxe: Life After Losing Her Husband John
"I said to John, I'll do this, but it was a month. They wanted me in for a month. I imagine I would have been in for a lot longer to be honest. But I said after the end of that month, we're getting a divorce because the trust is gone for me."
When faced with inpatient treatment for anorexia, Lorna Andrews gave her husband John an ultimatum: if he forced her into the facility, she would divorce him after the month-long program. John chose to trust her to recover on her own terms rather than risk losing her, a decision that took roughly 10 years to fully work but ultimately succeeded without professional intervention.
