The more I read, the more I have to agree with Carol – not because I believe that parents cause an ED, but because the parents in this thread basically make it about them, and them only, thereby completely invalidating anyone else's opinion. I find it kind of disheartening, even though I understand that having your own child succumb to such an illness must be terrible. It's just that it seems so … familiar. It's always about someone else, about what they do, about they help. All of which is appreciated, all of which is also exhausting, all of which is stifling me in the end.

Oh well, maybe I am manipulating or unable to cope here or whatever form of judgment I'll have to face now. It's the same kind of farce that always seems to happen – everyone's good intentions ultimately just lead to a lot of bickering about how to best proceed, but no real progress is ever made, and it all goes right over my heads and the only thing I get is that I am somehow responsible for turning everything into such a bloody mess. It always makes me want to apologise, for not being perfect, for not being like everyone else… and here we go. It's a funny thing, a family.

No offense intended, none taken. I mean it.
