i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Thanks @eth .... it's going well.
Travelling with hubby's eating disorder on board with us, but that's how it's gonna be till something changes, so we are all just trying to ignore it or work around it as best we can. It's frustrating at times, but doable, and I have just had to sign off on worrying about him too much in the interim.
Glad to hear you're all P key up to go, and you won't be too far away from your kids.

@Faith-and-Hope must be hard travelling with someone with an ED.

It is, but it's hard living with it anyway .... travel provides distractions, lots of them, and opportunity to get out and do and see things I would like while he is tied up in The Regimen .... it's bittersweet cos a lot of what I am doing is stuff we would have been doing together as a family, and the couple-stuff is missing too .... but that's just what it is for now .... can't fight it so have to just go with the flow ....

You are really strong @Faith-and-Hope. I don't think I'd have the patience you show.

I have built resilience across time @eth .... this form of e.d. has been with us for seven years now, but I have only recently realised he had a different e.d. for a long time before this one .... it has morphed into something far more complex and far harder to identify, diagnose, and treat (presumably).

I am also amazed at your patience and resilience @Faith-and-Hope
I have no idea how you manage it - as you say - he always had an ED but it morphed into something worse and he must have morphed too
That is such hard work
