It's also possible that the very pathology that you assume CAUSES the eating disorder actually RESULTS FROM the eating disorder.
I have a son that developed anorexia at age 11. There are no boundary issues in our family (and our therapist would back me up on that statement). We have a healthy, loving home. The anorexia came from a brain disorder, an illness. And it isn't anyone's fault.
We have used Maudsley methods to successfully refeed my son. There are indeed lingering issues that have resulted FROM the anorexia, but they do not predate his illness.
I am heartbroken that fault continues to be perpetuated.
