Anne and Mike say their 28-year-old daughter, Michelle, has been battling anorexia, bulimia and drug addiction for 10 years, and at just 75 pounds, they fear for her life. The parents say Michelle cycles between binging, purging and starving herself, all the while using pain pills, cocaine and other drugs to cope with feeling hungry -- and was once found passed out with a needle in her arm. They say they’ve spent more than $100,000 trying to help their daughter, who has been in multiple treatment centers, and nothing has worked --but could they be part of the problem? Michelle says she wants to get healthy so she can be a better mom to her 2-year-old son -- whom she can barely lift or find the energy to play with. But is she really serious about finally making a change? And, why does she say she blames her mother for her current condition? Then, a family shares the heartbreaking story of their loved one, Trina, whose eating disorder caused her to have massive seizures that left the now 24-year-old with severe brain damage. Will meeting Trina and her family have an impact on Michelle? If your loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, don’t miss this show!
