I would estrange myself from him. Bulimia or not. He doesn't have to act in such a manner. He just sounds like anasth selfish got.

So sorry to read of your situation & well done for supporting your DIL & GC .
You must also take some time for yourself, or else you won’t be able to help at all. Best wishes , I do hope it all levels out.

I've asked for advice before, quick history.....my youngest son suffers from Bulimia because of this he has mental health issues, but he holds down a very responsible job as a Manager so is capable of making rational decisions....he left his first wife and child ( now aged 19 ) for his present wife ,and has gone on to have two more daughters aged 5 and 3, today he has decided to leave his wife and children, I don't care why but I'm raging that this close to Christmas he has left these most precious excited little girls, I realise I'm his mum and as his mum I love him, but as a woman I despise him and men like him. I know he has terrible mood swings due to the mental health problems and we have tried many times to help him attending family counselling etc. He's 44 yrs old is it ever acceptable to say I've had enough, what about my mental health.....I shall support my DiL and the DGD's 100%, we have a wonderful relationship with our 19yr old GD his first child
