Hi all, looking for help and don't know where to turn... I'm convinced my mom is anorexic. She's been in and out of the hospital for the last decade and this last round I think she came very close to dying. I live a few states away so I'm not around much. The family that is is worn out and refuses to confront her or deal with it anymore.
She started out on alcohol about 30 years ago. Transitioned to prescription pills when we confronted her about that... and now is on to an eating disorder after we confronted her about the pills.
Her body is shot. If you describe her condition lit basically synchs up to the list of side effects of an eating disorder. Colostomy bag, dental veneers, emaciated body, heart problems, kidney problems, infections she can't shake, memory problems, etc. I'm at the end of my rope with her. It's destroying our family. I've told her I don't want my daughters around her until she gets better and I really don't know what else to do. She's very good and turning the discussion around and trying to make you feel guilty/ashamed about bringing it up.
Any advice?
