Can you imagine her family making the decision to help her out? What a bind that must be, to be sickeningly disappointed in someone yet have to give them funds because they won't stop fucking a con man in bedbug motels and eating like a zoo animal online.
The Marie Kondo part of my psyche really wishes it could get into Chantal's finances and unsnarl how much she makes, how much she spends, how much she spends on Nader, how many payday loans she's had and how much they cost her in the end, how much her family gives her, and find out how she is still pulling all this off. Auditors are trained to look for outright fraud but I wonder how easy it is to numerically parse out genuine insanity. Just absolute chaos.
I think I keep focusing on her finances because the rest is just too much. Pissing her bed and never changing the sheets, vomiting into the air vent, constantly shitting herself, her complete breakdown where hygiene and cleanliness are concerned, the fact that Nader, against all sanity, is still a part of the narrative. Wondering how much she spends on food and how much money she squanders is sort of a comfort compared to imagining Nader holding up her gunt while DeeDee straps on the old feed bag, as it were.
And I think these factors are why her family is helping because the alternative is that this absolute vortex of grossness and chaos may need to come home to live. Moms have a hard time letting their kids go homeless even if they deserve it so I imagine Kim would be willing to pay any amount if it meant Chantal didn't bring her nasty life to her well-ordered home. They know full well that she refuses to engage in any sort of cleaning of her body, clothes and apartment because she is still caught in a cycle of teenage rebellion wherein she refuses to do anything that normal people do and to ask her to shape up she will rebel even more. Even so, there has to be some sort of complete sensory breakdown enabling her to do this. And not just in terms of noseblindness or not really seeing the mess anymore. She has intertrigo between her rolls - we've seen it in some of her recent flashes. Unwashed intertrigo is painful - a severe burning sensation if not dealt with. Beyond that, dirty clothes become uncomfortable, unwashed sheets feel gross, unwashed skin itches and flakes, unwashed genitals fester, unwashed feet and uncut nails hurt. To be able to tolerate all of that in the name of childish rebellion means there is something so very wrong with Chantal on a primal level and were I her mother, if I couldn't bear to see her homeless as a result of her actions, I'd want her to stay the hell away and would pay what it required.
