Hi, i dont really have any advice but there are alot of websites on this subject I was just recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder I am not bulimic but i do self injury when stress is too extreme i am on medicine now and going to start some therapy.....possible she needs some medicine i have read about alot of this chemical imbalance its hard to accept we dont want to think were crazy but in all reality its not that were crazy our brain is just misfiring seritonin. I do believe parents are the biggest affect my mom hurt me really bad......its now showing up at age 31. Most people with this problem cant help themselves and dont want to be confronted about it. be her support search the websites on the subject i am not qualified to help you but i do know one thing when people tell me what i ought to do or stop doing i get totally worse support her as much as you can till she is ready to come to terms with it. it took me 15 yrs to admit i had a problem, i looked up borderline personality disorder i fit every criteeria but in some strange way it felt good to know i wasnt the only one out there like this and there is help. good luck theres lots of sites on ask the doctor.....parents just think its love not control.....try not to disrespect her parents it will come back to haunt you just get info for yourself and learn what you can do i wish you the best of luck
