My partner and I have been in a ltr for some time now, recently i discovered that he has issues with binge eating and purging. With our combined income we obviously do not qualify for financial aide, and unfortunately with the economy and bills we do not have health insurance. I have done lots of research on the subject and found several interesting factors, drinking brings on purging so that will be cut out, also depression is a major cause. I was looking into inpatient rehab, regardless how much I love him at this point we are not able to do this, Is it possible if the depression is treated, the drinking stops the purging may stop.I have looked into support groups and have found seceral thre the gay and lesbian center (we are a gay couple) close to us. Am I only causing more harm or is this worth a try? I appreciate all advise that is out there..
