Reddit mentions of Decoding Anorexia

I'm the father of a 15 year old daughter who has been in AN treatment since she was 9. She's been in individual therapy, iop, partial, residential, and inpatient through a program where I live (not Emily program). It can indeed feel overwhelming. Personally, I found the the most important things to remember were:

1. She's still your daughter. Love her, no matter what
   
   
2. Your daughter is ill. She is not just being stubborn, or rebellious. She needs help.
   
   
3. Her care team has a lot of experience with this. Work with them. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
   
   
4. Look for, and cherish all improvements, no matter how small.
   
   
5. Take care of yourself. It's not a sign of weakness if you need help getting through this yourself
   
   
6. It's not your fault she has an eating disorder
   
   You don't mention which ED she has. These are a couple of books I really liked. Obviously AN-oriented.
