She did, and I am very grateful for it. Thank you for the nice comment. And an FYI to some previous comments, I was and still am most certainly not a “rich” girl in the financial aspect. Eating disorders are largely misunderstood, but they are a mental illness. Just as it would be counter-productive and illogical to tell someone with a physical illness such as cancer to just “get over it,” it would be the same to tell someone with an eating disorder to just “eat a sandwich.” If I could have earlier in the illness, I most certainly would have. I did not ask to be that ill. My illness stemmed from a lack of control in my life as a result of sexual assault, abusive relationship, and emotional abuse from a family member. I know it’s easy to scoff at things not understood well, but education is your friend. Thank you, again, for all the nice comments. Riley and I are both doing very well currently.
