My mum was until the night before christmas eve. I told all to her and she was wonderful, I really wasn't expecting her to understand.
On the other hand,my Dad finally twigged about my bulimia after it had been going on for 2 years and he now thinks I'm recovered (I'm not) but he's not supportive at all. He refers to that period as "When Heidi was thin" or "when you were being silly about food" And when I said something about having used to have a problem with food he said " You didn't have a problem with food, you have a problem with throwing it up!" gah.
SO yeah, my point is, it goes both ways. I'd suggest trying to talk to your mum or dad, whats the worst that could happen? You don't have to tell them it all at once either,just a bit at a time, you never know it might improve things at home if they undrstand what your going through.
