Dear carer I?ve emerged from the most terrifying and bewildering battle in my life. And I want to help you avoid some of the most terrible pitfalls, which I was very fortunate to escape. I know what it?s like when the terms "Anorexia" or "Eating Disorder" or "Bulimia" first get used in your house about your family. I still remember when it became clear my daughter was suffering from Anorexia Nervosa ? I was blind-sided ? taken by complete and utter surprise. As the parent of a daughter with an Eating Disorder, this might be the most important message you will ever read. My name is Kathryn*, and as a carer, I helped my daughter fight and beat an Eating Disorder. And I will share everything I learned with you.
Probably much like you, I was terrified when I first encountered an Eating Disorder. Once I knew our ?baby girl? had Anorexia, I was overcome with fear and questions :
All the while, no matter what I read, or who I spoke to, no one seemed to agree on what we should do, NOW, to save my loved one. My first reaction was to ?Google? all the major terms about the illness. I spent 72 hours with a total of 6 hours sleep, collating, copying and formatting all the advice I could find online. You?re probably wondering what I did with all that effort and research ? The answer is ? NOTHING ! All I?d managed to do was condense a world of conflicting opinions, self-proclaimed experts, stories of pain and loss and suffering. Once I carefully read all the information I now had in my hands, I was lost and terrified. I could see no help in sight. Then it hit me. After reading the full stories of some of these sufferers, I realized my beautiful girl was actually at risk of dying. Dead, at 14 years of age ! As it dawned on me I might outlive my child , my hands shook uncontrollably and I just cried ? I sobbed in fact, in a way I never have ? for hours that felt like days. This beautiful girl ? what has gone wrong ? Why us ?
Which is why I?m writing this now. In this day and age, many of us rely on the internet for advice. But I had this sinking feeling the information I?d found was downright dangerous. It turns out a lot of it was, in fact it was potentially lethal !
The struggle my daughter (Bronte Cullis) and our family had with Anorexia Nervosa was documented by Ray Martin and Channel 9 and became well-known in Australia and across the World.
In the most acute stages of Bronte?s illness, doctors told me Bronte could not recover and that I should let her die. This led me on a quest, first to secure life saving treatment for Bronte, then to develop a deeper understanding about eating disorders and, most importantly, how to treat them.
Bronte is now a happy and healthy adult, and has written her own book about the ordeal. She has accomplished so much with her life to date, even though doctors gave up hope for her.
There is hope. And you can act. This e-Book is a great starting point to begin your shared journey to recovery.
WHAT ABOUT A FATHER?S ROLE ? Men often have trouble dealing with the anger and frustration caused by Eating Disorders. Facing an invisible enemy, a man can?t attempt to put his life on the line for his loved one. As long as your child?s father wants to play a proactive and positive part in treatment, Dad has a significant role to play. Our thoughts will help him identify this invisible enemy, and put the battle in context so he can help on the road to recovery. I have documented the challenges, support and actions a father can take to complement a powerful at-home action plan.
Having an Eating Disorder is a stressful situation for both the individual and family members. There is always hope for recovery from the illness. Eating Disorders are treatable.
The recovery process starts with individuals? motivation and determination to get better, and the personal support they receive from family members and others. Individuals are strongly recommended to obtain professional treatment and self-help resources such as this eBook so they can gain maximum control over their eating disorders and take self-responsibility in the treatment process.
There are many people who have successfully overcome their ED and are living a fruitful and happy life. Recovery from Eating Disorders is an active process and it is very achievable.
