At last , a single easy-to-read book ends the confusion about Eating Disorders, their effects, and treatment – with clear advice from World-Leading Experts
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 :

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…
