An anorexic daughter, then there's me a son who's on medication to control their rage and keep their anger in check. Yet whenever I decide to come home there goes mom all happy and excited to see me

How blessed you are ImpulsivelyMe to have a mother who unconditionally loves

you. In her eyes, you are the son she deserves. Don't be so hard on yourself,

after all you are on medication in trying to help yourself. Be Positive It's okay. x

Just wish at least one of us could be a regular kid just for her

Life doesn't come with any guarantees. What is a regular kid?

Is there any one of us who doesn't have flaws? Would you love

your mother less if she had an emotional or physical problem.

I think not.

That's why mothers are sacred, we are who we are and they love us still

I agree with you Danielle... Mothers want nothing more than to

see their child happy and well. But when they are not, a good mother

will still love and nourish her child. xx

as a mother, I can tell you this... We never wish for a different child than the one we have. To us they are perfect. We see past the anger and medication. We see what you can be. We see what is beautiful in you, even if you can't see it. Just imagine what it would be like to see yourself as your mother sees you. I hope that you can even if only for a moment see how much joy you bring to your mother, even if you aren't perfect.

It sounds like you have a wonderful (not perfect) mother whose heart was specifically designed and fashioned by God to love you unconditionally. I pray that her model of unconditional love will be reflected in your relationships with other people in your life. It sounds like you have some guilt about your condition. I pray the medication will continue to improve your condition and the negative thoughts and feelings of needing medication will be lifted.

I saw Anorexic on your post. Are you Anorexic? I have been seen 14. I am now 56 and finally recovered. Six years ago. The recovery began. I for the first time checked myself into treatment. I am fine. It took my life 40 plus years. I will say to Anorexia. Take a hike and never return to me. These here are the most powerful words to tell Anorexia. I AM NOW IN CONTROL AND YOU CONTROL ME NEVER AGAIN. GOODBYE FOREVER AND EVER. THOSE VOICES BECOME VERY SILENT AND I HEAR THEM NO MORE. LOVE YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. HANG IN THERE AND REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU.

art62grammie, Thank you for sharing that positive response to your

winning over Anorexia. I'm so happy for you. I can only wish my daughter

one day stops the voices and gains back control of a life she so deserves.

Merry Christmas grammie :) xx

I have a sister who's anorexic

Sounds like you really love your parents, and they love you right back! Just havin that mindset is 1/2 the battle! Stay positive...you’re doing the work. I have anger issues too. Clearly. My words can chop people at the knee... and I always feel so bad afterwards. Words can be a gift, and a curse. I’m trying, just like you! You’re not alone!! wishing you good days ahead! and sending a 🤗 hug!!
