Greetings, Abby My 19-year-old daughter is amazing and bright. She attends a different city as a junior in college. She’s been incredibly slender all her life. To address this, we have taken her to see doctors. They identified a vitamin shortage and advised her to take prescribed vitamins along with more nutrient-dense foods.I want to know if it’s acceptable to force food on her after her little consumed meals. She doesn’t always take her vitamins and gets full easily. I don’t want her to push away from me by demanding more food. In Texas, a mothering mother

TO MY MOTHER: You shouldn’t force meals on your daughter, in my opinion. She might protest if you do it. However, since your kid might have an eating disorder, I believe it would be wise for you to learn more about them.
