Do Mothers with Bulimia pass on their Eating Disorder to their Daughters?

Humans learn by copying other people. If a mother exposes her eating disorder behavior to her children, then her children will learn how to be a bulimic too.

Some mothers with bulimia can make poor role models, and because motherhood is often stressful, many mothers who have suffered in the past with bulimia find themselves returning to their old habits when stress hits.

Children see this as normal behavior and unless they learn differently, they are likely to develop bulimia as a stress coping mechanism.

If you are a mother or hope to be a mother then we strongly suggest getting help to overcome your bulimia http://www.bulimiahope.com
