Scenario

When generational eating disorder trauma affects parenting decisions

My mother and I both have histories with disordered eating and now that I have a young daughter, we're completely disagreeing about how to talk to her about food and bodies, with each of us convinced the other's approach will damage her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two generations of eating disorder experience are clashing over how to break the cycle, with protective instincts creating conflict instead of collaboration.
