Fathers: How To Protect Your Child with an Eating Disorder
A father’s role to provide for and protect his family is first and foremost on his mind. Historically, the father held the family together economically and was the parent responsible for keeping them safe from outside threat.
Although much change has occurred in the traditional family, most fathers still have a strong desire to protect their children. That’s why it is so profoundly difficult for a father to deal with a child who has an eating disorder. Just as he would shelter her from a horrific storm, or rescue her from a fire, most fathers want to take action against this threat.
Unfortunately, an eating disorder is an unseen enemy. No one, not the strongest and bravest of fathers, can beat it alone.
But we can help you.
Remuda Ranch has helped families fight and defeat eating disorders for more than 20 years. We are the experts in treating children, adolescents and adults suffering with life threatening illnesses such as anorexia and bulimia. We have seen girls and women so ravaged by an eating disorder that they no longer have the ability to think as their minds have been overtaken with the obsession of starvation rendering them unable to cope. Many of these young girls come to us already suffering from osteoporosis, even though still in their teens.
Remuda Ranch helps young girls to fight eating disorders by providing the treatment she needs, in addition to equipping her family with the tools and skills necessary to help her defeat these life threatening illnesses. Our successful treatment strategies include medical intervention to restore your daughter’s body to strength and health, therapy and activities designed to help her and her family understanding the function the eating disorder served, and skill building and education to teach her how to take care of herself with sound nutritional choices.
If you have a daughter with an eating disorder, we can help you protect her.
