thanks. Honestly, though, reading there just freaks me out even more. Especially because he is 18--we can't make him comply with treatment. I think we've caught it early, but it takes so long to find appropriate practitioners and who knows what will happen and how this will go. I'm wondering if he'll be able to go to college; we can't send him away if this isn't under control, and there is so little time left. I am terrified, and despairing, and completely bewildered. How has this happened? I can't sleep, I can't eat. His eating disorder is giving me one.[/quote]

There are a lot of people on that site who have gotten young adult children to comply with treatment. Even though he's 18, you probably still have leverage with him (paying for college, using your cars, etc.). [/quote]
