Wow - that's bizarre. She didn't seem depressed or anything to you? (I can imagine having that attitude in a state of depression, because really, everything seems too hard at that point and it's a relief to have other people telling you waht to do.)
I don't know, it's hard to imagine, but... it seems like everyone has their own internal logic. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes, when all we can see is the external behavior, it can seem outright crazy, but if we could understand how their brain was wired and how they got to where they are, it somehow makes sense - to them. There's a logic there, it just doesn't always match up to the real world
Is she very young? Maybe she just hasn't gotten enough bad advice yet from people to realize why that's not such a great plan
