Other than what I know clinically of this, I don't really know much. My niece has confessed (not sure that is even the right way to put that, but for lack of better words) of suffering from bulemia for several years. I guess she hid it pretty well. This is the same one that recently tried to kill herself (and within the family there is a lot of hush hush overall this-I feel that is sooo wrong, but not gonna go there yet) she's in the hospital still, and being medicated.

My questions: What can I do to help support her through this? My family is not really very supportive, and I get a very strong impression they feel all of what she recently just did was for attention (well it was actually verbally conveyed that way). She's 14, this is such a touchy age as is, and I really would like her to know how much we care for her, and help her as much as we can in a positive forward moving way.

What if anything is there that helps you through?
Thanks, Lisa.
