That sounds super hard, and i know i cant really relate because i dont have any children since i am still just a child... but i have struggled with eatting disorders in the past, and i'm here to tell you that freedom from it is within your reach. You just have to make an effort.
Try eating a little bit more each day.
purging less often.
tell your husband.
get therapy.
talk to someone.
You cant do it alone.
Stop for your children.
Give them a healthy mother..
i'm here for you always..

That is the question I ask daily-do I want recovery? I have never been to a doctor for my eating issues. But I have been on diets as long as I can remember. I was not so bad until last year when my 4 youngest children (quadruplets) graduated high school. Now they are gone to college all week talk about an empty nest. Some days I just want to disappear. I have been married for 24 years and my oldest son is 23. All I have ever known is being a mother. Now I feel worthless if I could just dry up and blow away I would be happy. I have tried to hide my feelings about food and purging from my husband and have succeeded thus far. But I know that one day he is going to catch me. My goal every day is to eat as little as possible and if I go overboard then I just get rid of it. I know that I have to stop for my children but I don't know if I want to. IT IS SO CONFUSING.

You can recover. It is difficult. One thing is you can't just do it for your children you also have to find worth within yourself, and do it for yourself. take care of yourself and by thus doing you will be healthier for your children and be able to enjoy them. I would suggest telling your husband and seeing a doctor my prayers are with you. -

Hmmmm well I thought this was a broad range discussion group and it is my first day here, but I find the discussions interesting and MOST do apply to my struggle with recovery.... AND I would like to say for me I never started recovery for any reason than to do it for myself... its the only way I think it can work!
Welcome
