‘She wanted us to be healthy and have the right food so we were restricted from junk food a lot.’
As a teenager and beyond, her eating disorder surfaced through calorie counting, binge eating and constantly monitoring how much she weighed.
She added: ‘That’s childhood trauma. It wasn’t my mum’s fault because she didn’t know any better.’
As part of her road to recovery, Malin believes it’s important to heal from childhood trauma and forgive parents for any missteps they make.
The activist concluded her column by saying that she has ‘fully healed’ and offered support to anyone else going through the same thing.
Malin tragically lost her mother Consy to cancer in 2017, while her daughter, also named Consy, tragically passed away in January 2019 after she was born seven weeks premature.
