[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skip ahead- child is now 16 and has an "eating disorder" in which she will only eat junk. I am not making this up - mom says "at least she's getting calories" This is my neighbor. I witness this weekly. I don't know how to hold my tongue any more. This girl is skin and bone, and for "dinner" ingests a Coke and a bubble tea. ! "at least she's getting calories" Nope. I just use it as a teaching moment for my own DCs, who also witness this joyous scene.[/quote] I mean, before you judge, why not try a little compassion? She is likely really struggling. When I was deeply anorexic I lived on candy because for a weird disordered reason it was a "safe" food. Took a lot of therapy and work to break out of that. You never know what someone else's path looks like. [/quote]
