Rant. After two weeks with her dad where the agreed approach to continuing to refeed using fish 2x and week and meat 1x a week (which took me 6 months to get going and 5 months to sustain) my x apparently didnt want to fight ED and only gave fish once. My 12 yo insists she wants to recover and we should let her be a vegetarian. I was pescetarian but now omnivore when ED hit her 1 year ago - rhetoric to her/ED has been NO food restriction. In therapy we discussed and I followed up on email (we do skype as I live in africa, they r in the US) that I was concerned that our RX model had changed during her visitation. I feel that Im going to start from scratch and was undermined, How to deal w an x who appears more interested in keeping the peace (he doesnt visit or see her often) than full recovery? And a 12 yo who is about 5Lbs to weight restoration who insists on no fish/meat? I told them all that she needs to be weight restored bf we can consider and that she must have fish at least 2x a week. But Im expected a backlash when she comes home (eg dad let me eat veg). I dont feel wrong in insisting as she is barely out of massive ED. How to mediate given she is very bright and getting stronger physcially and mentally. I dont want her to regress. But also am not keen on arguing...
