Jason came home from Northwestern Thursday night with just the clothes on his back.

He might be a kid who just needs to stay close to home, Pam. In general-maybe not even because of the ED. I'm beginning to see DS1 as somewhat that way.

We 'helped' him move out, ever so gently, but I now feel he wasnt ready to be 'alone' and that's why he so quickly fell in with the SFBGF. I have always felt so confident we did the right thing(have advised many a parent to do the same) and now? I really question the decision and would definitely do it differently if I could have a redo

I dont know why they would need us for support so much but....if they do, they do! There are likely evening classes somewhere in your area where he can get a BS and stay at home or nearby. By then, much time will have passed -its not like hes giving up his dream-just setting shorter term goals to get there.

Sending plenty of warm and positive thoughts

Oh, {{{Pam}}}, what a long hard road this has been for Jason, all of you. I'm so sorry that he's fallen again. I sure hope with proper and quick intervention he will have a speedy healing and get strong again.


I will keep Jason and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry.

Hugs to Jason, and all of you, Pam. Lucy had some good advice suggesting that you contact the counseling office at his school. They've probably dealt with this type of thing many times and should be able to offer advice regarding his return to school, consolation and encouragement.

Even though what my DS18 went through was no where near as difficult as what Jason's struggled with, I still always worry about the same thing happening to him--not the ED, but the feelings of loneliness, and depression. We just have to take one day at a time, and hope and pray.
