My wife has annorexia. She hasn't eaten now for 12 weeks and has been given anti depressants and is waiting for a phyciatrist to see her. She says that she dosn't want a relationship with me anymore and makes me sleep in my sons bedroom as she needs space and control over her own life.
Am i to blame for her eating disorder or is her eating disorder to blame for the way she treats me?
I don't know anymore, can anybody help? I don't know if i should leave her to make her better but honestly feel i can't live without her.

I am so sorry you and your family are going through this pain. Dealing with a mental illness in the family is always difficult.
Anorexia is a disease that's caused from one believing they're too fat. They are compulsive exercisers and starvers. Chances are she developed this disease out of her own insecurity and low self-esteem. If you support her and think she's beautiful, and if you remind her so and treat her well, you've done all you can.
If you don't want to leave her, don't leave her. Wait and see what can be done. If you believe all has been done, or if you get to that point, you will have to decide what to do then. Again, I'm sorry you're going through such hard pain.

Anorexia is rarely caused by thinking you are fat. It often stems from a need to control ones environment. Food is an easy aspect to control. She will likely need a lot of support and counselling. You telling her she isnt fat wont likely help her. Also telling her "just eat something" wont either. Again this is about control, this is not your fault. The fact that there are children involved leads me to believe that she feels that she has been living everyone elses life and not her own. Try your best to take over household responsibilities and encourage her to go out and try her own thing. With counselling and your patient support she'll get out of this.
