[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do bulimic's really think no one hears them? [/b]Do you think this relative was talked into coming on vacation?[/quote]

I think most are very, very clandestine and extremely well-practiced at silent vomiting. You get really good at it. Loud wretching in a shared house seems unusual to me.[/quote]

+1. I wonder if OP is just really attuned to it and following her around to listen outside the door. I doubt OP's kids have noticed unless OP is saying something.

Vacation homes can be poorly built with thin walls. OP, if there is loud wretching going on that everyone can hear throughout the house, I would let you SIL know that you are concerned and that you can hear her. Hopefully she'll try and be quieter.[/quote]

I shared a house with a bullimic in college. You absolutely hear it and smell it and find bits of vomit places. It's horrifying. Another roommate became bulimic to be as thin as the first one. It's contagious. We called her parents who didn't seem to care until she passed out one day in class.[/quote]
