Re: my mother needs help!       08/06/06 04:08 AM Edit Reply Quote AnnTheSwede Reged: 07/18/06 Posts: 5 Loc: Uppsala, Sweden, Europe It sounds really difficult for you - and for your mother. My first thought when I read your post is that your mother must experience a huge void and emptiness in her life, that she is trying to fill and/or get relief from through binging the way she does. The way I see it, keeping ourselves unfit and on the verge of physical malnutrition can be a powerful shield against psychological feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness. I think your mother needs to understand WHY she is eating the way she does from an emotional point of view, but then again, that is easier said than done. But perhaps you could try to talk to her from that angle, ask her how she is? I think she's made herself deaf to what she only hears as your "nagging" about her food habits, she has to open up other doors in order to get well. Best of luck to all of you. Great of you to stand by your mum. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
