I just recently found out not only that a friend of mine is bulimic, but that she is also in rehab. We lost touch over the past couple of months due to...well, life. But I still care about her. I'm writing her a letter, but I'm not sure what to say. Friends say she'll be out in about a week, but I still want to send the letter.

Can any of you suggest the things I should say to her? The outline of the letter is this:

It starts with me saying how proud I am of her going to rehab. It goes into some stories about me, because I'm sure she doesn't want a whole letter revolving around rehab and the life she's living 24/7. After that, it goes back to me telling her how proud I am of her, how I admire her, and how I will never judge or look down on her because of this disorder. I told her I support her and that she can call me for any and everything.

I just wanted to know if there were specific things I should add, or things I should leave out. Thanks!

what a good friend you are.......i like the idea of your letter. she is ging to know that you aren't judgmental by the fact that you are writing to her. you might leave that part out.... it's just so good that you're writing. cause when a person is in rehab, mail call is BIG!!! xoxox pat

Hopefully instead of saying in your letter you will not judge her cuz of "this disorder" that you name it instead of prefering to it as just disorer. To me if I were to receive the letter that would be the part that would get me if someone could not say it by name. Just my opinion and thaughts.
