I have been in treatment now for almost four weeks.....................
This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my whole life. I have not seen my kids in a while. I missed mothers day with them and my oldest sons birthday was yesterday. I have never felt so miserable in my life. Refeeding is hard work. I am miles away from home so I don't even get to see my kids during visits. I have about 2 more months until I'm done here. It is very lonely. I'm the oldest one here. Infact I'm old enough to be everyones mom. I think I'm just babbling.

God bless you for being so strong and determined to continue with this treatment. It is very hard to be away form the family, mainly from the children. In no time, you will be heading home, and feeling better and happier. God bless you.
Man, the very beginning is so hard! But now, 2 years later, I look back on myself at that point and Im in awe. We are so lucky to have the type of programs to help us help ourselves. And challenges like this are the sort of thing that make you an even stronger parent. They are lucky you are willing to take the time to seek help- so many parents just hold out for fear of leaving the kids. But they need you well, so you are exactly where you need to be!!
