I'm sorry that our system has let you, your family and most of all your daughter down! It is certainly not a perfect system, but until you run into the need for services that are NOT available, we often don't realize all the challenges.
I have to believe that you will find the help you need, that someone, somewhere will listen to reason...but then I heard on the news only today of a woman who's been cut off social services because the Gov. believes she is dead...and she can't seem to convince anyone with power that she is NOT!
Eating Disorders are indeed misunderstood, and under-funded, not to mention a life-long battle for those who are fighting. I know 2 women who have fought EDs in their lives, and although "healthy" now, neither would ever suggest they are "cured." I hope your daughter will be able to fight the disease, and find the support she needs to help her in her battle with mental illness. |
