I agree with both of you. Sometimes, there is a denial factor there and yes, it is hard for those who have not been there to understand. But those that do and try give such a warm feeling.Tiptoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388368645986593755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-68570576433230846452010-04-21T17:10:39.105-04:002010-04-21T17:10:39.105-04:00no one in my family ever discussed my eating disor...no one in my family ever discussed my eating disorder. wow, it's so weird that i really realize that.<br /><br />i do think that if you don't have an ED, it's really hard to "get" it. i think it's actually easier for people to understand something of my substance abuse.<br /><br />interesting topic.I Hate to Weighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241064340434705588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-66427117018108980202010-04-19T00:36:17.857-04:002010-04-19T00:36:17.857-04:00Ooooh, the topic of my eating disorder is silent, ...Ooooh, the topic of my eating disorder is silent, has been silent (even when it was the elephant in the room), will be silent in my family until I am dead and buried, most likely. Unless I really feel like "bringing it up". <br />There were years when the denial that was buried deep in my family made me feel completely infuriated, but I didn't know how to react to that feeling or to the situation. And maybe I've promoted that denial? I'm not sure, but at this point in my life, I don't want to dwell on it, in terms of my family relationships, the relationship with my husband/partner or with my friends. Maybe it's because I'm in a better place myself, but I don't want to identify myself or for others to identify me using a label. I know that we all use some labels to identify/describe/define ourselves, but I don't want to be bulimic for the rest of my life.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208374967597840745noreply@blogger.com
