A Mother’s Crippling Guilt vs. Son’s Severe Eating Disorder @OnlyHumanDocs

Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In one of the most raw and emotionally charged episodes of The House of Tiny Tearaways, single mother Cheryl James opens up about a dark secret that has haunted her parenting journey: her 3-year-old son, Ben, was born addicted to methadone. Plagued by immense guilt and debilitating anxiety, Cheryl has spent years overprotecting Ben, unknowingly enabling a severe, dangerous food phobia that leaves him refusing adult food entirely. Watch as clinical psychologist Dr. Tanya Byron steps in to treat not just a toddler's eating disorder, but a mother's unresolved trauma, in a desperate bid to heal a relationship built on survival.
