I am just appalled at this information provided. Some of these boundary issues may be evident in some cases and maybe reach the attention of professionals because of a range of problems. There were no boundary issues in my now recovered two young adult children. My s had been successfully living away from home for 3 years when he became AN following glandular fever.

Our children were much loved, encouraged, bright and very independant children prior to their illnesses. If you believe what they said WHILST ILL you would think they were emotionally abused. Surely professionals can not trust what this ill malnourished brain is telling them even if the individual seems to believe it at the time. My D received 5 years of wasted traditional treatment whilst we backed off as advised and we watched her decline and attempt suicide.

Thank goodness for Mandometer and Maudsley who work together will loving families towards recovery. When oh when will professionals start working with families rather than adding to everyones trauma by blaming them.

I'd like to see you working with that mother who probably picked up her approach to her D whilst frightened and playing safe for fear of causing further harm. Have you sat there beside your child in intensive care? She needs guidance to provide the support she desperatly wants to give her D not being told she is the problem so go away. It is also often the case that those same behaviours do not trigger ED in children in other families.

It is heathier for everyone to have a loving supportive family whatever their age. Please move past the blaming (inappropiately) and everyone work together to refeed and renourish the individual. Then listen to what their well brain tells you and work with that.
