I have known this girl for a long time. I have seen her go through her eating disorder and come out of the treatment and everything. I always thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world but she never knew how i felt until about 2 years ago. her and her boyfriend recently broke up and we have begun seeing each other. For the last 2 years it has seemed like we were connected more that her and her boyfriend were because she told me everything and i felt like i knew everything about her and she is the only one that i have ever been able to trust.

recently she said that she wanted to meet my parents and my parents have wanted to meet her before we are together. so i invited her over to dinner. she was happy and wanted to come. but then the day of the dinner she said that she didnt want to because she needs to feel comfortable eating with them. she has told me everything that she has felt with the eating disorder and i feel like i have been with her through it all and felt the pain that she has gone through. i just dont understand what i can do to help her with this.

in short... is there anything i can do or say to help this girl who means everything to me? i want her to feel comfortable around my family eating and everything... what can i do?
