And even better, you will learn to SEE and LOVE and CARE for yourself. Which I will tell you, is truly extraordinary.

What Happens After Your Child Is in Eating Disorder Recovery - From The Mighty
I find as time marches on and your child recovers, you are left to your own thoughts, sometimes for the first time in months.
