Hi, I really feel for you, I have had problem with my teenage DD nothing close to what you are going through......Is she still having AF??? I guess that's a good thing? Means she is still eating enough to fuel her body. Wishing you loads of strength I hope you can get some great professional help and quickly. xxxxxx
Oh hun, I just wanted to send you hugs. It must be really difficult for you and your family.
Being a teenager these days is really hard, peer pressure is nothing like it used to be back in our days. Having to look, talk and act a certain way, have all the latest gadgets, loads of money etc.. I don't know how these kids cope with the bombardment of media.
All you can do is be very supportive of your little girl, be a friend at certain times and a mother at certain times.
Thank you so much ladies. The latest update is YAY she has put on 1.4kg in a fortnight. We all breathed a sigh of relief as you can imagine. She is feeling better in herself too. I think some of it was she had gotten herself into something and didnt' know how to get out (had a scumbag asking for nude photos of her so he could **** over them). We solved that for her by taking her mobile phone and cutting off her internet access. She wasn't happy at first but now is ok about it. Her attitude still leaves something to be desired lol but one thing at a time. We are still looking at changing schools but the one we wanted to get her into isn't accepting enrolments atm. Still looking for the next one.
I have stopped being so hard on myself. My dr told me none of this was my fault and that there is nothing I can do unless Sarah wants my help. I realise that I don't have it so bad compared to some (like a g/f of mine in Sydney) so am not stressing as much. I will tackle things as they come up.
Again ladies thanks so much for the hugs and support, I still need them when I have bad days xx
First i want to send you a great big sqeashy hug and secondly to say thats great that she has gained this fortnight my cousin went through years of anerexia and self harm behaviours and it was the hardest thing to watch so i could only imagine the heart ache you are feeling right now i know with my cousin she was hopistalized for months at a time with a NG tube basically force feed nutients .. her treatments over the years were gruelling and emotionally draining for all of her family BUT she started to get better very very slowly but she did get better i suppose what i am trying to say is it may be a long hard road but you will come through this journey together and i wanted to wish you and your family the best of wishes and a shoulder any time
