I really hated what he said about Anna not be an alcoholic and going driving and injuring someone.. and that her ED didnt hurt anyone. Do not tell me that their kids haven't been 'hurt'/affected by it, especially Emilia who must have some awareness. They are so deluded!
Her ED hurt her, obviously has affected her children as Emilia has already said a few things that a girl her age should not be aware of, perhaps affected her sisters, and with her sharing BS advice has potentially hurt viewers, as well. Her mum must worry, too, eventhough we don't see her being active about this at all. And if he was any kind of caring person it would hurt HIM, too.
I work for a very busy Dutch forum for people who suffer from EDs. We get plenty of questions from partners as well as parents, because it's just so difficult to wrap your head around why your loved one would do this.
If he saw her as 'a project' that he's been 'fixing' for ten years, what has he done to help her? Other than let her 'do her thing', and turn a blind eye?
Oh wait, I know..... He's told her repeatedly that he likes thin girls, he has been lusting after Zoe who is his ideal type, he has made comments about her weight ('will that bridge hold them?' as Anna walked over it with 1 week old Andrea), only fauning over her when she looks what he calls 'hot', has used numerous unflattering pictures of her as the thumbnail, has repeatedly used pregnancy as clickbait which meant he thought she looked it..... and all this without educating himself on the topic of EDs from a reputable source, encouraging her to seek help from a proper therapist, maybe even going into counseling together....
Bulimia is a silent killer because it can go undetected for so long as sufferers usually do not gain or lose much weight.
Repeated purging can cause a lot of internal damage due to the act of purging itself, as well as be heavy on your heart. You could even suffocate during either binging or purging. And that is without the mental issues that go along with hiding addictive behaviours from your partner, not being honest and open with the person you're sharing your life with.
If he 'always knows', why does he let her carry on with it? That to me shows complete disrespect for her. Like others have mentioned, it shows that he prefers to keep her weak.
All he's done over the years is get her pregnant, probably because during those times she did not mind putting on weight, and perhaps she could file her purging under morning sickness....
Wow these two are in desperate need of some proper, proper counseling. It's so f'd up.
