"Living and communicating”"
with a loved one who is suffering from an eating disorder
"I suffered just as much as her, I suffered with her. I was sick in the morning, sick at night. I was, in fact, just like her. We have been together for 15 years, we have two children, we live on top of each other, and when one member of the family is doing badly, the others suffer the consequencess » (said by the husband of a young woman with bulimia in the film “Boulimie et Thérapie” (“Bulimia and Therapy”)).
If you have an eating disorder, your loved ones worry and ask themselves if it will ever end. What was needed was a book that would stop guilty feelings, be action-oriented, bring hope, and reveal what was hiding behind the obsession with food. Then, your loved ones could react respectfully and in an appropriate way depending on the critical situation that you go through in daily life, and that they go through with you./p>
I have witnessed the usefulness of this book for many people who felt completely lost in their relationship with a loved one suffering from an eating disorder. It is without a doubt because I lived through it myself that I could explain what was going on inside an eating-disordered person’s head.
