Hi,
I am so so sorry to hear what happened to your son Kyle.  That is terrible...I
can't even begin to imagine what you must go through every day.  I can certainly
see why that would trigger your bulimia.
 
You asked what a partially recovered bulimic is.  While I am no expert, this is
my situation.  I am 41 years old.  I suffered from anorexia and bulimia as a
teenager, from about 15 to 19.  I have always battled with the way I feel about
my body and my desire to stay thin.  I met my current husband at age 23 and
things finally fell into place for me.  Everything was GREAT...we had 4
children, the house, it all.  Then about 4 years ago he had an affair with his
secretary and guess what....big trigger.  It all came flying back.  We mangaged
to put our marriage back together.  A long story I can bore you with if you are
interested.  However, my insecurities still come back to haunt me on occassion
and it triggers the bulimia.  SO, basically, I have episodes about 3 to 4 times
a month.  Not on a regular basis, but it is not beat yet!
 
I will be here if you want to talk.  Anytime.
 
Tami

Thankyou so much for writing me. I have noone to care about me. I am
in a miserable marriage. I have no friends or family for support and
no I do not work outside the home. What is a partially recovered
bulimic? I am in the full throws of it. I am sure you and others know
what I mean. Yes, I have a son that I adopted but that doesn't cure
anything. I am in a miserable marriage , no friends or family and
simply go to therapy for PTSD once a week and grief. Nobody cares, I
am used to that but I thank you for your email.

TRIGGER
MY son was murdered at the age of 5. His name is KYle. He would have
been 10 on JUly 5. I have noone and never have. All I can do is take
this out on myself. Thankyou for caring, I need someone to care about
me for a change.

4ever alone and missing my sweet prince Kyle
