One of my ex’s was bulimic, and either ate and purged or didn’t eat at all pretty-much daily. Ever since the first time I had caught her purging, I watched her like a hawk, to make sure that she was eating food, and I even told trusted adults at the time to try to get her the help she needed. But she would lie to them, and she would keep doing it and even started to self harm. It devastated me to see her like that, and I wish that I could have helped, that I could have taken away her pain and suffering. I regret standing there and watching her rot away, and not being able to do anything to stop it.
