I don't think you are being unreasonable. But families all have their own sort of culture. Could you purchase a small refrigerator to keep in your room, to keep your food in?

: hi everyone.

: I have just moved back home after 3
: years living away, and while
: redefining my eating habits my
: family doesn't understand my
: sensitivity to food and why I need
: to eat a certain way, making sure
: my meals are planned, and prepared
: for the week. Am I being
: unreasonable if I ask them to not
: eat my food? (I don't work, so
: have very little income and in
: debt, so when I purchase food I
: need to be healthy it really is an
: investment for me). I cannot eat
: the food they buy because I am
: allergic to wheat and diary and
: they do not eat much meat. Meat
: here is very expensive.

: I'm being accused of creating
: disunity in the family, being
: selfish and being cursed with
: "You'll never be able to live
: with anyone, ever!"

: What do I do? Surely I am normal? Am
: I asking for too much? Does anyone
: else have anything similar happen
: in their life? How do you get
: around it? Pls, I'm desperate to
: talk to someone about this as I
: don't know where else to turn.. My
: family is fighting with me and
: making me feel really low. I'm
: worried I'll get depressed again
: and considering moving out - what
: caused me to leave in the first
: place. I don't know what to do and
: terribly unhappy ...

: Please help!

: P.s. I am on step 3.
