[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 134119, member: 1233"] I have an exSIL with bulimia. It is much harder to kick than her other addictions. It is also common in someone with sexual abuse. You have to deal with all the abuse BEFORE you can be very successful with the eating disorder. Your daughter is in a fight for her life. This eating disorder can and will cause very serious damage to her body. I, with great thought and care, strongly recommend seeking inpatient help followed by intensive outpatient help. Your daughter really doesn't have the strength to cope with the cruelty of other kids, or with learning about math, science, or other school subjects. She must FIRST fight to deal with the abuse and the eating disorder, then later, even MUCH later, she can learn math and science, etc.... If she doesn't address the issues she won't heal. There is too much going on to NOT stop and focus on the really important stuff. School and other kids are less important. Please find inpatient help and let her heal. Even if you homeschool her to give her a break from the kids so she can heal, it can happen AFTER she gets a good grip on healing. I know it was very very tough to concentrate on my son's emotional and other disorders in lieu of school. I felt for a very long time I was hurting him by NOT pushing the academics as we first homeschooled. Another mom told me that as parents, homeschoolers, people, our FIRST job is to raise a good, productive human being. Academics, subjects, etc... are all secondary to that. We have to heal and build the person BEFORE the academics matter. I hope you find the right help very soon. I am sorry about your son. I know how it hurts when one of your children hurts the other. IT just about kills you, doesn't it? been there done that, and fought through it. You will find a way to cope, and to help. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
