Haven't written in a while but want U to know I keep up with your sitch and am always inspired.
You are indeed an awesome mom. Am very glad for your D that you're not over-reacting and are getting her the help she needs.
She sounds awesome, too. But of course! Her parents have shown her how to surmount ...
Mt. Whitney!
Food is not just fuel, is it? Our culture with its focus on outer beauty does lure ya into the "looky loo" game, and self-image takes on great importance. This is something I continue to work on, too.
Your D will have a good head start, addressing this now. Way to go, Ellie!
Over here in my neighborhood it almost seems like spring, and I am keeping busy.
February has not only Valentine's day (my WAH's use-to-be-fave-holiday, back when he was romantic) but is also the bday month of both Redhead and my Ex New Guy.
So I'm going off to a long weekend trip mid-month with my fave girlfriend.
That way, I don't have to figure out how to celebrate. I won't be sad, or reminded of "what's missing" -- I'll be singing with a pile of pagans (or whoever's at the retreat).
Thanks so much for the recap of your recovery. It is very helpful to those of us still in limboland.
