Unit 14 Case Stud Kelly
Kelly is 20 years of age and is an only child. When she was 3 years of age, her dad left her and
never tried to get in touch since. After this happened, Kelly and her mum could not afford the
mortgage of their two bedroom house, so they had no option but to move in with Kelly’s mums
parents.
Over the years, Kelly’s mum change dramatically, she would often go out, without any
explanation leaving Kelly with her Grandparents. Kelly’s mum often brought many men home,
some of whom were violent towards Kelly, but none of the relationships lasted. Kelly resented
her mum, she felt unloved and insecure.
Kelly was sixteen and studying for her exams, she began to feel depressed. She felt she had no
support from her mum and no one to talk to at school. She wanted to prove to everyone that
she could do well in her exams though.
During this period of time, Kelly felt continuously sad and often cried for no apparent reason.
She found it hard to sleep and did not eat properly. Her tutor at school noticed she was having
problems and asked her to speak to a school counsellor. Kelly’s condition improved and she just
managed to pass her GCSE’s. Kelly had meetings with the counsellor for the rest of her time at
school, once she had finished, she felt she could cope without the sessions.
Kelly then managed to get a job in a call centre, which held many opportunities. Her confidence
and self esteem increased as she made new friends and worked with different people, her
wariness of strangers decreased. Kelly started to socialise more and often went out with friends
after work. Through this Kelly met her partner Kevin.
They got on extremely well and found they had a lot in common, including the fact that neither
of them got on particularly well with their parents, so they helped and supported each other.
Once again she felt loved and secure. They then decided to move into a flat together.
Kelly was glad about this, as her mum had recently moved in with one of her boyfriends. Kelly
did not trust him to start with; she found it hard to communicate with him and though he was an
alcoholic at one stage. Kelly believed he was dragging her mum down to his standards. She did
not want to stay with her grandparents, as she felt she was intruding on the privacy, and they
needed the room for their younger grandchildren, who the grandmother looked after whilst their
parents were at work.
After Kelly’s 18th birthday, Kevin was tragically killed in a road accident. Once again Kelly cried
uncontrollably and started not eating sensibly again. Her colleagues found she constantly made
mistakes, giving customers wrong advice. She was often late for work and did not explain
absences. She never went out after work and would not talk to anyone at lunch. Friends tried to
talk to her but she ignored them, which continued for weeks.
Kelly’s boss eventually realised what was going on and suggested that she took some time off
work to sort herself out. Once at home she locked herself indoors. She could not sleep and did
not want to get up in the mornings. She did not bother to eat and therefore lost an incredible
amount of weight, making herself feel weak. Kelly began to think suicidal thoughts, as she no
longer enjoyed life or had the willpower to live.
