Hi funnyguy,

I feel for you, this situation must be frustrating. I think its important to remember that other individuals will have a hard time accepting your disease especailly if they have felt like victims of your past actions.I have a really hard time accepting my sister in-laws bulimia problem cuz it affected my relationship with my husband-it was like everyone burried their head in the sand about the issue but me...Point being,there may be some hard feelings there which you have to come to terms with. I am so proud of you for getting help! And you are on the right path to wellness. My advice would be to reach out to the individuals you have hurt in the past and let how bad you feel about it. Also let them know that the road to recovery is long and you are hoping for their support. I suspect they may be feeling bitter about the past. I truley believe that just letting them know that you feel bad about the past and you are trying so hard to get better will start the mending process. Its important that you and your family be patient and honest with eachother. It will take some time before they regain trust in you, but it will happin! Please have faith in yourself! Good luck with everything!
