Remember what you are doing to your body is passive suicide & that's not something that a parent is really keen on sitting back & watching happen without taking some kind of action to try & get you to see what you are doing to yourself...maybe in his own strange way he hopes that you get sick of the way he's treating you & thinks that you will change to stop him from doing that.......it's obvious that he doesn't understand ED's.

It's better for an MD to be the one involved in your treatment....know that my MD was the one that basically kept me alive for many years during the difficult times......I didn't want to live so I really didn't care what I was doing to myself.....but at that point, I was 42 & in a 20 year + horrible marriage & wanted out no matter what I had to do & vanishing into nothingness sounded good to me......but recovery can happen.....& dealing with the issues (control) that are causing you to be in that situation in the first place is an important place to start.
