Lia is a very dis functional character in Wintergirls, Lia is forced to make decisions when it came to Cassie. The night of her death Cassie called and left voice mails on her phone but Lia made a personal choice not to answer her because they were no longer friends now she has to live with the fact she will never be able to see why she needed to talk to her so badly that specific night leaving voice mails saying she needed her help and saying she was sorry she is now left with guilt. Lia is still continuing to struggle with her eating disorder wanting to eat but constantly thinking about how many calories she putting in her body and her dis functional family adds to her problems. Now she must learn how to forgive herself for not being that person everyone wanted her to be and regretting not living up to her potential.
If you were put into Lia's situation with all the built up guilt and not being able to talk to your parents who would you go to talk about your problems and moving past everything that had happened and all the faults you have made?
I would keep what i had to keep inside. I would try to talk to my parents in some sort of way. If they completely shut me out i would have to turn to someone else. I would see a guidance councilor or someone who could help me. The guilt will always be there but talking to someone will lessen it and help understand it fully.
