I have a family member that has had anorexia as a teen. Someone, a boy made a comment about her weight. She was always on the top of the pyramid cheerleader. So definitely never heavy. They tried to take her to therapy but it was a family issue. The entire family needed to go with her or at least her parents. She is not in her late 60s as still has a food obsession. She knows she is anorexic and I think she uses that as a way to control her life, and others unknowingly. Many people do not survive as long as she has with an eating disorder but if has impacted her health.
Yes you understand the life long nature of this illness

I fully agree and wonder if there is a way to make that happen here?
Yes, it is.
