An eating disorder affects the entire family. As a recovered anorexic, I saw the pain my family was in, watching me struggle each day. I was eventually hospitalized with bradycardia, a condition which caused my heart to beat 24 times a minute. My step mother and father were particularly helpful, and truly saved my life. They brought me to my therapy sessions each week, and helped me to overcome the most difficult struggle of my life. Without them, I wouldn't be here today. An eating disorder isn't just an individual struggle, it is a family affair. I honestly believe one can not recover from an eating disorder alone, so if you, or someone you know is struggling, be the one to save them. Or get yourself help. You can make it through it.

This doesn't mean you will automatically have an eating disorder, it just means that because you are used to their way of eating, it may be thought of as "the norm" so you might pick up on it more.
