Hi, are there any mums out there?? I used to be on the boards a couple of years ago. My situation has changed considerably and now I'm back, but , very tired, and struggling to know how to help my daughter anymore.
Just need to talk.

re: Mums!!!
Hiya
I'm a mum but i'm the one that's struggling. However, if you want to chat then i'm here to listen.
My kids are 11 & 6 and as far as i'm aware they are unaware of my struggles. I'm currently recovering from bulimia and making great progress but life for the past year & half has pretty much been weekly appts of one description or another.
How is your daughter, and equally important, how are you?

Update
Hi Jazzie,
Good to hear from you; apart from Frankie I seem to have lost the 'original' crowd. However, time moves on. Sorry to hear you are struggling, you must be very strong to be coping with your illness and 2 kids on top, well done you!!
Will contact soon; as I've just said to Frankie, I'm working tonight but will write War and Peace later!!
Keep going chuck, it's lovely to have new friends.
Love
P

re: Mums!!!
queenie,
as a sufferer, I can understand how hard it must be to support your daughter. I think the most important question is to ask you if she actually wants your support? I don't mean that in a bad way, but is she accepting her illness and ready to accept support? I know for me, despite having struggled for a while, I still struggle to tell my mum how I'm feeling/doing so I just don't bother. Equally, she also struggles to know how to help me so also doesn't bother. That hurts but we're kinda in a catch 22 situation with neither of us budging. I think you just need to be there for her, & more importantly let her know that you are there for her no matter what.
pinkish, how is your daughter doing, and how are you?
I'm still diong ok, only a handful (or 2) of blips since the new year which is immense but still a bit to go. Now receiving Inter Personal Therapy and despite being hardgoing & very emotional, I think it will be of great benefit to me in the long run.
Take care, and maybe speak soon. Apologies for not being on the boards for ages, kinda been busy.
xx
