my eating disorder
Posted Monday March 19 2007, 5:03 pm
16/F
105 lbs/5'4"
I recently came out to my family that I've lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks due to not eating and throwing up when I do eat. Now my parents want to send me to an in-patient facility for rehabilitation. I'm really really scared/angry because I think that I can beat this or figure it out myself with a little help from my family...I'm not even that underweight. I feel like this whole thing is ridiculous and I shouldn't have tol them about it. What should I do? I need to convince them otherwise very soon...

Moving Out
Posted Monday March 19 2007, 4:25 pm
What is the legal age you can move out of your parents house? Some people have told me 18 and some have told me 17. I'm in South Carolina if that makes a difference. Also, how would you tell your mom you were moving out without hurting her feelings?

I'm reliving my shame...
Posted Friday March 16 2007, 2:29 pm
31/m - Sorry for the long story, but I need help.
Many years ago when I was in my early teens I did something very bad. Something society truly frowns upons. But since I was underaged, it was my first offense of any kind, and nobody pressed charges I went to group offenders counseling once a week for 3 years and the offense was striken from my record. My mother and I went together, although with separate counselors, because parents were encouraged to go as well. My father worked. Through this counseling I was able to flourish. I discovered much about why I did the horrible things that I did, and I shared all these discoveries with my mother.
About 8 years ago, my mother died. She was the "glue that ...
