Its a good thing that your concerned for your mom. It shows your caring, but i think that your mom should see a doctor instead of just working things put herself. I hope everything works out for her. :)

First of all I would like to say that you did the right thing comfronting her.I know thats not very easy.Secondly if she's lying to you maybe you should tell another parent, relative, or evan a really close family friend.Handiling this situation by yourself is very hard so if at first you think that you don't need an adults help, please think again.If your mother is still not fessing up, evan after you told her you knew, than you need to ask someone close to get her into therapy.If you can not afoard help than why not raise money.Also might i add when she is at home watch her very closely making shure she is ok.If you catch her in the act than at least you'll get her confessing about her problem.Just remember two things.You really need a trusted adult to help you at your side, and two everything you do is helping your mother become healthy again.

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with your Mums issues. If you have a Dad around it would be a good idea to tell him. If not, is there another adult member of your family that you can talk to? This is your Mums problem not yours, but I do understand that it directly affects you. I can also understand your anger towards your Mum for doing this to herself. She needs professional help and the first person you need to approach with or without adult support is her doctor.

Your Mum has definitely got problems that need to be sorted out before she can start her recovery. People who deal with bullimia can best understand why she is hurting herself this way and can treat her mind as well as her body.

This is not going to be easy for you and you need to get support for yourself as well. If you are still at school ask to see the counsellor who can then point you in the right direction.

Your Mum will probably lie to you, perhaps in an effort to protect you from her illness, but you have to be strong for both of you and help her to face up to this. I don't know how old you are but I am guessing you are fairly young. Please start today with finding support for yourself. I wish you all the very best and hope that your Mum makes a good recovery. Take care.
