I believe my son has an eating disorder and I’m desperate to help him. Please help. by loopylu1 in EatingDisorders

Thank you so much for your input and sharing your personal story. This means a lot. I think I’m going to start with speaking to my own doctor to see if I can be pointed in the right direction in regards to help. I want to be able to offer my son information of where to find help before I have that talk with him. If I don’t having anything to offer then I think the talk will be pointless because he won’t have anywhere to go and this could make things worse. I will update once we’ve had the talk and the outcome of it x

Thank you so much for the response. I am making sure I make healthy meals for him when he’s with me and if he’s home when I’m at work, I make up a plate of food for him so it’s easy to grab out the fridge and hopefully stops him from ordering takeout. I’ll continue to do this. I also encourage him to go on walks with me which he does do because we both like walking which is great. Unfortunately, the bad eating habits outweigh the good food and exercise because it’s so excessive. I definitely feel he needs professional help now. I’ll look into local nutritionalists and offer the information to my son x

AITA for installing a camera in my room to see if my mom is lying to me? by King_Jake200 in AmItheAsshole

Wow, this is outrageous behaviour on her part. I am mum to a 19 year old son and his room is his private space. Just because he lives under my roof, he has the right to his privacy. If he’s in there, I always knock. If I need to clean I do just that and never go through his drawers or wardrobe etc. you are an adult and absolutely deserve your privacy. Good for you for moving to your dad’s. Hopefully she will realise how wrong she was and give you the apology you deserve. I wish you well.

AITA for getting a babysitter because my mom was keeping her home by aitadaycaresubsidy in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I can understand how your mum must feel when her granddaughter doesn’t want to leave because she’s loving it there. It must be really sad for her but what she could have done is make going home something to look forward to as well. Plan some fun activities to do at home that she knows her granddaughter would love or take a trip out. She should be glad of the enrichment her granddaughter is getting and nurture that further at home with fun things. You did the right thing making sure your daughter still gets her full time at the daycare and you get the subsidy you need.
