Thanks, Kathy. I've really gotten over most of my hangups, have forgiven my parents and do have a decent relationship with them both, thanks to the healing power of God's love.

I did think my parents were kind of nuts when I was a kid, and thankfully, had a wonderful older brother who concurred.

In some ways, not knowing that they were so dysfunctional was a blessing. I had a dream that I was 30 and going back to relive my life and was more frustrated, because I knew they were wrong, but since I was a child, they didn't believe I knew any better.

Initially I was just given bowlful after bowlful, and told I was going to keep eating until I got through a bowl without throwing up. But then after a while I wasn't allowed to run to the bathroom, I was forced to throw up in the bowl, then keep eating. I guess they were running out of the food (which I will not name in case anyone reading does like it...don't want to ruin their experience for them!).

Sorry, Jenn. I'm sad to see this happened to someone else. Your story reminded me of a news story from many years back: a boy had drank a coke and his mother forced him to drink 5 gallons of water as punishment. He drowned and died.

Your story sounds almost just as severe.

Hopefully parents reading this and realize not to *ever* make food a discipline issue. Providing healthy options is enough.
