The suicide pact parents.
Lisa, 33, has Asperger's Syndrome,a form of autism, which triggered a spending addiction.
First off, that's blatantly false. Secondly, Lisa contests this claim and says she isn't on the spectrum at all. Therefore, it's wrong to present this as fact when, really, the veracity of the claim is still in the air.
Just for fun, I searched the archives for more articles on this subject:
Apparently, the parents originally asked the daughter to kill herself as well. Because the only unhealthy member of this family is the daughter, of course.
Note that in this article she's said to suffer from "Asperger's syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder and severe anxiety problems." The mother said that she loves her daughter "unconditionally" but that she thought she should kill herself because "it would be better for her because she did not have any life."
Of course, they only did this because they loved her. They loved her so much that they were huge enablers and gave her more than they could afford.

Jesus blue fucking Christ. I'm beginning to think Lisa is surprisingly sane under the circumstances. :P
YES IT'S HARD. NO THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE COPING MECHANISM, YOU CRAZY OLD BAG.

And of course, they gave her all their money because she threatened suicide if they didn't. Well, maybe. But look what happens - they attempt suicide, and ask her to join 'em!
