I have a 26 year old daughter who suffers from anorexia. This is not new, and she has struggled with an eating disorder for over 10 years. She has been through 2 partial hospitalization programs and is currently in out patient therapy and seeing a medical doctor. Although she wishes recovery, the restricting still goes on, limiting foods she will permit herself to eat, etc.
She has temporily been living home the past few months, although plans to move out again soon. My husband and I both live here and wish to be supportive.
I am looking for support in how to be supportive to loved one, and know what is up to me and what not up to me. We try to offer meal support, but she is fairly resistant and mostly eats fruit, salad, a little turkey breast, some beans sometimes, yogurt. At least this is something.
Anyone out there going through similar situation or has gone through? Any support groups out there? We did attend groups when she was in programs, but that stopped once the program was over. Thanks for any info or advice.
