Thank you-it does often end in crying, and I liked that you included that. Thank you.

Agreed...it doesn't help in the long run. It's stressful.

Hello :)
I just went through and read all the stories in this series. First: I love your work!
Second: I can relate. I, myself, have never had an eating disorder. But my cousin does. She's gotten a lot better now, but I remember when it first came out. My aunt flipped. Screamed at her, blamed her, belittled her. My mom had to stop her before she became physical. It was heart breaking. But with time, things became better. Of course, it won't get to a 100%, but we are so happy with the progress she has made. Just felt like telling you that. :)

PS: Also, it doesn't matter what pace you're going at. I KNOW you can get better :)

Tom is such a sweet brother to be so patient and understanding. And I totally agree with what you said in your story notes about there being little to no support for people with eating disorders...unless you actually have one, I guess it's just to hard to understand. Another amazing fic :)

god this reminds me of when I was younger (anorexia nervosa, started at age 8 still dealing with it)...I liked it, hated the way the Simon and Gorden are 'handling' it, and loved the little wisp of twincestness :)...I hope you can conquer you eating problems, it takes time but it will get better with the help of those that love you :)

I wish my older brother was as caring as Tom is in this.. but then again, I do not have an eating disorder, nor are my brother and I incestous :P
But I really am enjoying the Relapse and Recovery series :)

a few hours ago I had removed one tooth destroyed by bulimia (exactly by stomach acid), it was impossible to fix it. it's so very painful, hard to stand. I really suggest everyone touched by bulimia to get rid of sickness fast, you really don't want to feel such pain. vomiting can help to lose weight, but price for it is too high. also it's bad for self-esteem.

My god! I'm kind of innocent about a few things, so I can hardly believe that parents would act that way.. -.-

I forgot to add one more of mine opinions on a situation such as described in this story: often happens that a child who has no real problems is falling ill with eating disorder to get attention and simply out of boredom. Then the problem is getting real, patient get what they wanted - can retreat in self-pity as much as they want, expecting whole family to pay them extra attention. As I can't see your Bill having any family problems (I mean other than his eating disorder - his parents don't seem to be abusive, neglecting his needs, etc.) nor any other (maybe you could add some background) it seems to me he is one of these cases.

I think in such situation not only the person who is sick is a victim, it affects whole family as well. It's normal that parents can get nervous when they don't understand why a child, who was perfectly healthy before, acts this way now, especially whey they can't see any reason for it. I think people with ED should try to understand that they're not the center of an Universe, they're just a part of it. "I have problems" they could say, and yes, I agree, but they're not the only one in the world who have them. But maybe being so self-centered as a teenager is jut a part of growing up.

The support is what really helps! Thanks for sharing this with us. I feel like I could empathize better now that you've shared a little of what it's like. :)

God, why is Tom always so perfect to Bill? No wonder we love him so much. We all need a Tomi in our lives.

I really liked this! It's very realistic too, I think. You can't force someone to get better from something like that, it has to happen in their own pace, just like Tom said :)
I think this kinda seemed like a chapter of a longer fic, if you know what I mean? xD
I'd love to read more, and see how it goes!

oh gods. i dont like this. parents dont seem to understand how hard it is when you have an eating disorder. they think you're being some stubborn rebel teenager that's begging for attention. i hate that. i hate it SO much. and Tom is a sweetheart, he's so helpful. these two remind me of me and my sister. we both have eating disorders, but hers is more serious than mine so i try to help her along. i dont think she knows i have one, i'm not one to exhibit it. but i just love how Tom is being the perfect brother and supporting Bill instead of bashing him for what he's not doing. if you or anyone you know is dealing with this, i give my condolences and support, and i hope that you/they are recieving some type of support at home. an eating disorder is no joke, there's nothing funny or amusing or "attention grabbing" about it, and ppl should stop treating it that way. *hugs and love*

Aww, Tom is so sweet :) why don't you this a full on story? or make a story about Bill and his eating disorder. That would be really great! I use to suffer from bulimia when I was 12 I'm 16 now, and it's still hard. What I dislike is that people don't realize how hard it is to overcome an eating disorder, i'm glad your giving more awarness through these on shots :3 & I really hope you can overcome it too!
Much Love darling

well, actaully mostly it is the fault of a victim. I had eating disorder for 6 years, 4 years of bulimia, and 2 years of anorexia. When I think about it now I know it was all my fault. Of course one can say "Mama never loved her much and, Daddy never keeps in touch" but usually it's not really like this, most of problems are in teenager mind or are totally not connected with eating thing. I was too concentrated on myself, paid to much attention to my physical appearance. Now I'm paying a price for my own stupidity.

Omg, Tom is the best brother in the world, if only everyone who is going through the same thing as Bill could have such support too... Thank you for sharing.
