Any ideas for parents with eating disorders? |
I have a 14 year old daughter who is very anorexic. We are seeing a Pediatrician once a week, a counselor, a dietitian, going to a children's hospital for outpatient treatment, and after 6 months she only has one goal in life...to loose weight. She does not care if she can have children, does not care about her future, does not care about anyone else, and does not care if she lives or dies. We have tried everything we can think of, any other ideas what parents can directly do that might help? Depending on where you are living there are some schools that are part of an outpatient system with hospitals to help kids in her situation. I went to one when I was younger (about 14 actually). It was part boarding school, as I went to school on monday, staid till Thursday and then came home. I was only there for about 4 to 5 months all up, and they worked in part with my actual school to make sure I wasn't behind when returning to my normal school. like your daughter, i have an eating disorder. i am currently in recovery, but not recovered, and i have realized that there are some things that parents can do which help, and others which are counterproductive. i don't know if anything i can tell you will help, but i'll give you my honest opinion and hope it helps you. |
