Family and Recovery

Hi there

Today was such an emotional group for me today. But what did I learn

Hello Iceberger, many regards from Lanzarote. I hope everyone is having nice day.
I am sitting here, looking at the Atlantic Ocean, and reflecting a little bit on the past. Tomorrow is my mum arriving, so good few thoughts on the family and ED subject is coming to my mind.
When I am reading the fantastic tips from Icebergers to carers I am asking to myself – How can we help to carers to learn more?

Hi all, I found this online and thought it very apt for parents who have a child with ED. Just like your child, you will make mistakes, but it is never too late to change and grow, just as they will as they go through their journey of recovery you too have the opportunity to live,love and learn.

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

i am very lucky and grateful that i have a supportive family its only in the last while that ive really realised this and i would not be here today if i hadnt this extra support team my family. i just wanted to share afew ideas and what not and what to dos that help me along the way.these are things that have helped me so im only personnlly speaking but in recovery i guess we do learn from one another.

{dont label me as bulumic/ anorexic/ etc)
this only drives and feeds my condition and no label is good enough for condition anyway.
