I've had an ED most of my life, either Ana or B or both.
Yesterday I had 2 1/2 years off no purging (no meth, & no cutting)
(there is hope)
I was never a binger, but I never kept any food down, so I was always sick (physically)
So I can relate to both of your frustrations..

It took me many many years of therapy, in patient, etc.
to get a grip. I totally hear what you are saying about the health dangers.
I do personally think ED's are a whole different monster than drugs.
You don't have to do drugs, or drink ever again, but you always will
have to eat, put the thing you hate and fear most in you to live.
There were so many times, I just did not think I was ever going to be able to come to terms with that, death for me was easier than to keep food
inside me. And that struggle in my head alone, made me feel so helpless...

Have you ever checked out the something fishy site for parents? I'm on the site for people w/ED's but they have a whole separate forum for Family Members... I have never been on it, it's only for Family Members, but I hear it is good.

BTW, I think you are doing great w/your boundaries and rules.. :ghug2
