Melinda

Mike Berger, Ph.D.

He told her she was fat and ugly
saying that he needed to put a sack
over her head when they made love.
He manipulated her for sex.

How thoughts get distorted, no one
knows, but Melinda began to diet.
She felt if she lost 25 pounds, that would
magically flip a switch on her lover and
he would lighten up.
She became obsessed. She starved herself
every day, refusing to eat or drink. She weighed
herself 20 times a day and became bereft
if she gained an ounce. She began to look
gaunt and gray.

When she dropped below 100 pounds, they put
her in the hospital. Her organs failed and she
passed away. Her death certificate read that
the cause of death was anorexia. That may be
true in a technical sense, but she was killed
by her worthless lover.
