My family and i recently had our own family program. Similar to the one you have in the adult unit but this time just me my mom dad and brother with of course Ann Mitchell
i tell you what that had to be the hardest scariest thing well one of them (treatment was scary too) i had done. I love my family the for supporting me and doing the workshop. When i had my family program at Mirasol i realized that a huge part of my eating disorder is caused by the relationships i have with my family. Not saying they caused it or anything but my relationship with them made it hard. My dad stopped drinking. He is having a hard time saying he is an alcoholic but he is going with me to an AA meeting tomorrow which i am really excited for him to come. My mom is realizing that she has denial issues and i am her surrogate spouse. so her and i have been working really well on our boundaries. My brother sadly is not taking it as well. He is a very angry man and he hasn't kept up with his "willing to dos" so i haven't talked to him in a very long time. he didn't even come to my wedding in April becasue he was upset with my mom and dad.
But enough about that my question is Have your families been really supportive of you after leaving treatment? Are they seeking out help for them selfs? did they stick with what they promised during family program?
thanks for your time! :
