[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 726402, member: 1233"] Nomad, I think your son has something very complex going on. Maybe you could let your son know that if he ever wanted help, you would support him in that? I don't know how he would feel if you were to broach that topic. You would know if he would respond to that or not. It might be worth a try. My family and friends and even teachers spent 20 years trying to get help for my "anorexia". It was a conversation that confused me when I was little, made me laugh at times, and then got old. It really would bother me when the same people would not accept that I was not anorexic but I was just not able to gain weight the way they were. I am sure that I didn't help the situation by being a very picky eater. So I understand how this is a tough discussion to have. I have discussed it with friends who have eating disorders. I have had others bring it up with me. It is usually a discussion that does not go the way that the person who starts it wants it to go. All you can do is to try to bring it up, to be open minded, and to be there for him in whatever way he will allow whenever he will allow. It may be that you have to bring up the idea to him and then give him some time to think about it. [/QUOTE]
