I'm really sorry you're feeling like this - do you think that maybe your daughter getting older and approaching the age when you were first raped is a big trigger for you - it's a very understandable one, you sound so distraught about not knowing how you can protect her..but try not to be so hard on yourself, it's perfectly natiral that you will have some kind of reaction as your daughter reaches an age that was so significant in causing your ED.
Do you have a therapist or someone you can get in contact with if you feel you are lapsing?
Please don't feel like you've failed hun - you've managed to beat this thing for 8 years, and that's fantastic, but please ask for a little bit of help now, sooner rather than later - you deserve it hun, you've done nothing wrong, you're just being a good mum who needs to protect our daughter, you can't help that!
Lots of hugs!
