A journal of a fight against anorexia, and the fading of my now 14 year old daughter. She was only 12 when it first began. I wanted to make Waif real again, substantial. 18 months on, Waif has regained some presence in this world and I am prepared to grab her to keep her from dimming once more. The Maudsley has been a godsend but mostly it has been hard work, the most worthwhile work we have ever done.
"Looking lovely" is not indication of health. She does, indeed, look lovely. But where is she, from a health perspective?
ReplyDeleteI'm certain that you're very aware of the issue, but I urge you to review my article entitled, Skeletons aren't the only ones who suffer.
Let me know what you think. And again, I hope that your daughter is finding her way. xxx
AmandaJane, yes I am so extraordinarily proud. She and my older daughter are simply perfect and I love them with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteyogaduchess - gulp, she seems healthy but I will read your article right now (fingers crossed it will not be relevant to me). Thank you. I always appreciate reality checks.
Yogaduchess - that link doesn't seem to work. Please could you try again?
