None of the bulimics I know would listen to friends or family, Robin. I'm with Amy on the professional help.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are excellent short-term outpatient treatments for bulimia these days. One is a cognitive-behavioral treatment, and the other is based on interpersonal therapy. Both of these have been proven to help most people in a short time.
The only problem is that the treatments are relatively new, so that you usually have to be in a large city or a university town to find the real thing.

Hugs to Suzi and Robin and Robin's niece. I'm sorry I have no helpful words for any of you.
In other news, I have returned from the wilds of Maine intact and relaxed and well fed.

Do you mean you need a completely new life, or just the intercourse part of it? It's ambiguous.

Just so tired of being the middleman. I am the peacekeeper of the family and it is so fricking draining.
Nevermind that I am still getting caught up at work and have started a new class. Yes, I chose to be off work and to try to get my stooopid degree, but damn. Why can't adults act like adults? WHY?!?!?!?!?
eta - Gud, yes, that too would be nice. I should not be NGA. Really.

Thirding (or fourthing, not sure which) the professional help Robin. I've got a friend who has struggled with it for over 40 years, now. She does best when she's getting active counseling.

You know sometimes, Suzi, that isn't your job after all. Sometimes you just have to let the other people sort their own shit out, and let the friction and sparks just happen. Because it's no fun being the brake pad, and the other folks aren't going to learn how to deal with each other if you're doing all the work for them.
That's something I have to remind myself, anyway.
