Mom, It's Not Your Fault

NEDA (National Eating Disorders Association) brought the Mother's Day piece I wrote to life in this video! We hope the video will encourage others that there is hope, there is a way out, and there is life after eating disorders. If you are struggling, take the first step by reaching out and asking for help. You can find a professional through NEDA at www.nationaleatingdisorders.org.

Also, call NEDA's Information and Referral Helpline: 1-800-931-2237.

My mom sounds like the one spoken about in this video, a "super mom" I am living proof that you can come from a family who gives so much love, and still develop an eating disorder. Let's stop blaming ALL the mothers, cause mine..personally..is nothing short of my hero <3

My mother was abusive and my worst enemy;

[Jessie1982933]

That's pretty inspirational. However I do blame some ( not all) of my ED on my mother. And I have my reasons.

Thanks for share it, my situation is very similar.. my mom didn't cause my eating disorder, i'm still fighting with this problem but it wasn't my mom's fault either.
