Our adult daughter has been sober for a year but she gained a lot of weight during recovery and she's struggling with body image, and as her parents we don't know how to talk about it - we want to support her health but we're terrified of saying anything that might trigger a relapse or make her feel criticized about her body. We can see she's uncomfortable but we're walking on eggshells about her physical recovery.
More people experience this than they realize.
Parents are struggling to support their adult child's overall physical wellbeing while being mindful of the complex relationship between body image, health, and recovery.
