[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying OP should stop getting DD to a therapist right away. I would get her there without telling DH and certainly not bio mom. But eventually, as those with experience have said, having support from the family is usually important to a successful outcome. It's critical that DH get on board at some point. [/quote] OK, I'm not arguing that point. But an experienced family based therapist (special type of therapy geared specifically towards eating disorders) is going to work with the family to help them provide the support they need to support the child to eat. A marriage therapist is unlikely to have a lot of knowledge about eating disorders and bad help is worse than no help in that case, especially if the marriage therapist takes the attitude that anorexia is caused by overcontrolling parents and urges stepmom to "stop being the food police". That will only make things harder.[/quote]
