I applaud your efforts to continue learning and developing. I appreciate your commitment to be the stopping place in a thread in your family legacy that helps perpetuate eating disorders.
Your own therapy work, your willingness to look at yourself and your family with honesty and love and your dedication in providing your daughter with a healthy emotional environment in which she can develop to be the best she can be is wonderful. And, as I know you appreciate, your effort is necessary and challenging.
When something we know is all we know, we don't know options exist. Plus, those options may be available to us only after we do a certain amount of internal growing. Usually in that growing we have to tolerate pain and experience humility as illusions collapse and more reality becomes clear.
Your efforts to learn, not only to break but change the chain, and use your learning and your love to help your daughter, will help many children and adults beyond the limits of your family.
