I understand about the connection w/bulimia; I'm very familiar w/it--drink or throw up, either way get rid of IT, the feelings, the pain, etc. Problem is when all these self-desructive coping skills are jumbled together, it just makes a much huger, unmanageable problem, which creates problems w/my family, etc.
I'm truly surprised that the father forcing alcohol on the daughter happened to other people. I know that sounds silly, but I thought it was just me. I hate him for giving me that hungering thirst that can't be quenched--because it's really love, respect or not being abandoned. It's not so much the substance, but how willing I am to do anything to not feel.
I have no clue how to create constructive coping mechanisms to replace the self destructive habits.
