My concentration on talking about mother/daughter is based on my own experiences in the multi-family therapy group.
But no doubt about it - we need to all remember that males get ED, too.
And ED can come into one's life - either gender and at any age.
My brother, who is 57 years old, has developed an eating disorder. He lost a great deal of weight after my dad had a stroke and they both gave up drinking. Dad died and that put a great deal of stress on my brother. He seems to have taken on ED as a way to cope with this stress. People have told him OK Carl, it is time to stop losing weight. But he shrugs those comments off and continues to diet strictly/lose weight.
Much has been learned and needs to be learned about ED.

My apology.
You are so right. Sons do get ED, too.
