If it is alright with you I'll keep your daughter in my prayers. I have a daughter and this really breaks my heart. Hang in their friend.

I think at this point in time you have done what you thought was best.
I would suggest that you, your wife and daughter get some professional help, you really need to address this as a family. It is not going to be easy. my prayers are with you and yours |

Seek professional help. Stay in contact with your DR. and put her in the hospital, involuntarily if needed. Get her the help she needs. It is probably not anything you did or didn't do, kids want to fit in and the Model picture in their mind is inordinately skinny. Tell her that this look is really not becoming and point out normal sized people that are.
Of all things we found a similar problem with our 7 year old. Her psycho bitch grandmother convinced her to diet because she is " going to be a model and make Gramma sooo proud " The situation between us and Gramma is more than I want to go in to but we were tempted to file a child abuse complaint when ours and her lawyer pointed out to gramma that she was border line committing child abuse and cease at once. " More details will be in the book in about 3 years but not until then, the litigation with Gramma is still going on. |

I don't know why this stuff happens to you, either, but IMHO, you did the right thing in acting to preserve your kid's life.
As long as your kid's alive, you all can sort out the other details about what you and she did later on. But to do all that, she has to be breathing, and so do you. Most likely this situation didn't develop overnight, and won't go away that quickly, either. Get some good, effective counseling for all concerned, and look to the future. Best of luck to you all. |

You did the right thing. It's a mental illness and it needs to be dealt with by the professionals.
The day will come when she gets better, that she will be glad you took the actions you did. You'll be in my prayer's. |

Dude, you did the right thing. It sounded like intervention was the only way to save your daughter. Hard decision but the right one. You can blame Hollyweird and the glamour scene for this. They put out the image that if you're not painfully thin than you're fat and ugly. Hope everything works out.

Sanity-
You did exactly what a father and any self-respecting man is supposed to do. There is no alternative. You need to take care of yourself, now that your daughter is being taken care of, and you can do that most effectively by continuing to talk. On the net is OK, because this site is loaded with some of the finest people to be found, but what you really need is some face-to-face time with a professional, clergy, relatives, or just good friends/loved ones. Do that, and do it tonight; real friends won't mind how late it is. You're in my prayers, as is your daughter; (I have an 11 year girl, and love being a Daddy)if you like, e-mail me, and we can talk some more. You did the right thing because you're a good father. Continue being a good father by looking after yourself, because people are counting on you. Best of luck, and God Bless. -Kurt --------------- This needs tacked! |

You are doing the right thing! I think most young women have some "chub" at one point and unfortunately that is around the time that their personal self image if formed. GOD FORBID if someone says anything about a couple extra pounds, they immediately and PERMANENTLY start to believe that they are always fat. My girlfriend is 5'1 and 93 pounds and does not eat either, she also runs 6 miles a day on the streets then another 2 in the gym at night. Her dinner habits suck, but she does eat, just while noone is watching. Oh yeah, she's also an actress/model, which is what every girl strives to look like, so I guess I should have known what i was buying into!
You did the right thing and one day when she's married and has kids, she'll realize it. If she's dead, she will never be able to love you for not stepping in and helping. She'll just be dead. Good luck. |

I'm very sorry to hear of these problems you're having, sanityfair.
I have no real experience in this area, except that I dated a lingerie model that alternated between being anorexic and bulemic. I never knew it until we broke up and she went insane. She too always thought she was fat, even though she was about the same as your daughter. The problem is, once kids see something about themselves, they never stop believing that it's true. It certainly doesn't help when others reinforce that belief. Maybe it's time that she be put into a private school where things like this can be controlled better? Maybe you can get together some of her friends for an intervention? If they are really her friends, they should be just as worried as you are. I know it's hard, but don't worry what she says about you. you are being a caring father, and sometimes that means doing things that your children don't like. But you've got to protect them. That's your job. And I think you've done just about everything humanly possible. She'll get over "hating" you. She'll see that you saved her life. FWIW, all my life I've had people say just the opposite to me, since I'm not exactly a heavy guy. I would kill to be able to gain weight, but I've pretty much accepted the way I am. Hopefully she will too. |

My first and only child so far is just 14 months old but, I often spend 'quiet time' reflecting on what he means to me and what the future will bring for him.
As a parent, we want nothing more than everything for our children. If we could possibly attain it, we would give it to them. Along with that, we would do anything to protect our children. Now, I didn't really understand what that statement meant until 14 months ago. I really didn't understand what it meant to say that I would die for my son without hesitation, without regret. What you did was all you could do to save your child's life. She doesn't know this now but, in time, she will. Trust me on this one, I know about hating your parents. And I don't use that hate word lightly. It will take time and it will be tough but, she will understand what you've done for her someday. What you did is something that not just any parent could have done. What you did was love your child enough to risk losing her love to save her life. Don't ever doubt that what you did was right. You know better than anyone what was awaiting her at the end of the road she is on. I can only try and imagine what you are going through, I can't possibly know. But, what I do know is this: I hope that I will have as much strength as you if I ever face such a situation with my son. Rely on your faith. Rely on your family. Rely on your friends. Rely on us here. Never give up, never be afraid to ask for help and you will come through this. |

I am so saddened to hear of your daughter's situation, but I am so relieved to see what you have done for her.
I have a daughter who, when she was about 18 years of age, lost weight until she was about 105 lbs, and she is 5'6". I was worried about her, too, and was also thinking about seeking medical treatment when she suddenly snapped out of it. She is now 30 years of age and in good health. But don't think it didn't add to the grey in my hair! I'll talk to my Father about it tonight. Eric The(YouKnow,TheBigGuy)Hun[>]:)] |

yes, you did the right thing. your daughter's health and safety should be (and obviously is) your number one concern. i can't add to what anybody else said about good actions to take, though. i just wanted to reiterate that you are NOT a bad person for what you did.
[stepping up onto soapbox]now, i'd like to address the "image" question. hollywood is just a conduit for the masses. the reason they don't put "real" women in movies is because no one wants to watch real women in movies. face it, if i posted a pic of me and a pic of a model, which would would you guys go ga-ga over? (note: matt is the only one i EXPECT to answer me. [:D]) guys just notice the female FORM first. and since we want to be noticed, how else are we supposed to do that? it isn't just about being a "super model". everything around us tells us that we aren't even noticable unless we're skinny and sexy (and stupid). example: my mother-in-law-to-be told matt that i wasn't good enough because i wasn't skinny enough. he actually grew up believing that the exterior form was indicative of the person inside. like if i lost weight, i'd be a better person? she thinks i won't make a good wife because i'm not skinny enough. (now, i may not make a good wife, but it won't be because of my weight.) anyhow, what i'm trying to say is that we girls overhear your catcalls and whistles and comments. and it starts to add up. we notice that you never whistle to girls who look like us. that you never flirt with girls like us. that you never ask girls like us for our numbers. it gets depressing. i'm not excusing female stupidity any, just trying to show that it ain't just about hollywood vixens and fashion models. [stepping down off of soapbox now] anyhow, i don't care what y'all think of me. cuz i'm sure i can outshoot some of ya! [:D] |

Hate to say it, but you did the wrong thing. Trying to force her to change her ways is just going to create a confrontation. The problem will now probaly destroy your relationship with her and most likely make her bitter at you for the rest of her life. You should have removed her from the enviroment creating the problem. Withdrawn her from school, and began homeschool. This way you could have kept a family life and removed the single most important influence on her to do this. Trust me for fourteen year old, school is life. remove school, something she is forced into usually against her will, forced into a society where her looks mean everthing, and this is what happens. Mental problems like this cant be analyzed and diagnosed and removed with drugs. It just doesnt work that way. Sorry to be hard on you but thats the way it is.

Since when is "dangerously thin" considered good looking? I don't bloody CARE if it's what Madison Avenue thinks is right - I think they are usually out of touch anyhow. Besides, how could someone like Kate Moss be considered a "supermodel" with the body of a 15 year old male marathon runner? I've got bigger pecs than she does - probably because I press 450...
Seriously, peer pressure and the mistaken ideal are going to be responsible for more dysfunctional people and needless ill health and death than anything else I can think of offhand. I'm not saying that being hugely overweight s a good thing, but people NEED some meat on them to look healthy - being built like a toothpick is NOT healthy. Sanity, I hope all is well in future. At least you ahve done the right thing now - you can't reconcile with a corpse. I can only hope your daughter realises sooner rather than later why you found this course of action necessary. I don't remember anything like this being a problem when I was in school - but I think I'm a product of the last generation fully able to form its own ideas... FFZ |

SF, I will echo the others in saying emphatically that you did the right thing. The situation was to a point where only full time/effort, direct, immediate, and professional attention would do any good.
To give you a little perspective into your girl's mindset.... Mentally ill people behave in ways that are quite reasonable to them. To put it directly, you placed quite a significant threat to her defense mechanism, and she responded accordingly. In no way is it healthy or right. The standard answer is she is compensating for a low self esteem, but it could be more than just that. I don't know her, so I am not going to waste words guessing. When she went off on you, that was not HER talking. Yes, she meant what she said, right THEN. She will [b]not[/b] feel that way soon. The hospital will help her see that she is not responding in a healthy manner, and they will help her develop healthier behaviors. I do not know how much you are able to concentrate on what we are saying, but I will make one other observation that should be a comfort. You just demonstrated the opposite of what is known as enabling. You have probably heard that word before, but it comes down to you acted properly, and in a timely and HEALTHY manner. Give yourself a pat on the back. You did good, Dad. |

Legonas, your advice is quite frankly a load of bullshit. Sanity did the only thing he could to help his daughter stay alive. Medications might or might not help her, but committing her to an institution is the only thing that will keep her alive to find out for sure. "Changing her ways" is what she needs most at this time. Taking her away from school is an important part of it also--the change of environment will probably also serve to keep her alive long enough for some Psychiatric treatment to help.

Just hang in there and talk to SOMEONE!!
If she HATES you, at least she is still alive and can be cured. If she attempts suicide, she will prove that she has serious mental problems and be subjected to appropriate treatment. Anorexia is a mental disorder and very similar to attempts at self destruction. The sufferer has an untrue self image - to their eyes they look like Rosie! Heavy in-patient therapy is required. Failure to commit her for treatment is to give up and let her die; glad you have rejected that!! I was married to a mentally ill woman (anorexic among other problems) for some years and am not sure who was more damaged - me or her - by the experience. Deal with this just as you are and never let up. Your life as well as hers depends on it. Best of luck and God bless. |

Legonas, I am sure your intentions were good, but your advice was in error.
I too am against putting kids "into the system", but anorexia is an illness, not just a product of liberal schools. If your child had a broken leg, would you try to fix it with homeschooling? No, of course not. Anorexics can be extremely sneaky about starving themselves to death. A hospital inpatient ward that deals with these kids knows what they are capable of. A home schooling Mom may have no idea the lengths her daughter will go to. Sanity Fair has already BEEN through this once, and knew exactly what to do. He did right, he may have saved his daughter's life. |

First, MTV, primetime shows, and most young women's magazines promote anorexia and/or bulemia as "the norm." If they do not expressly state this, they definitely imply it by glorifying 90 pound women as "sexy," ad "popular." It ain't just your daughter- it's 25 years worth of young ladies, and there isn't an end in sight to this fad.
Secondly, by making a hard choice for HER now, you have effectively made her hate you in the short term. SO WHAT? 10 years from now, when she is a happy, healthy adult, and you are perhaps a grandpa, everyone will admire your strength and decisiveness during this time of difficulty. Of course she hates you now- didn't everyone hate their parents at 14? (I still hate my mother-in-law). I see so many women in law school who are 24 and 25 years old, who never sought professional help for their eating disorders-it ain't a pretty site. She is young enough to treat- be glad you caught it early, before serious bodily damage occured. You know that you are doing the right thing for your daughter's future- stand tall, and know that you are doing the right thing for HER, whether she hates you for it or not. I admire you for making the hard, but correct choice. |

SanityFair, I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. You have done the only thing that you could to save your baby girl's life. That took more guts than I can imagine. I am so in love with my beautiful little niece's that I cannot fathom the horror you are going through with your own daughter. Do whatever it takes to get through this. Your daughter is where she needs to be, but you and your family need to look after yourselves too. Your ARFCOM family here will help, but of course, there's little we can do. You are obviously a good man, and a strong man, who loves his family. That is exactly what your daughter needs most. She also needs time to recover from her demons. You have given her that. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you.

I just need to ask:
What is a "pro-anorexia" site and who would run such a thing and why? Something I'm not sure anyone else has emphasized is that in addition to full-time attention and counseling on the medical/nutritional front, she needs spiritual counseling to show her the right choices for her mind and soul and to lead her from the wrong ones. |

SanityFair -
Trust me when I tell you, you did the right thing. Like AntiUSSA, I've seen both sides of this coin. A lot of the guys here don't fully understand the motives behind the behavior, but they are all correct in that you did the right thing by having her admitted. I've been there. If you need someone to talk to about it, shoot me an email and I'll give you my phone number. |

My heart bleeds for you.
I shall pray for her. My little girl is 8. I worry about the same thing daily. I am so sorry. |

Sf,
Whether she hates you in the long run is up to her. The critical point here is, with the proper help she will live. As you have pointed out that is what you wanted. It is obvious that her life is important to you. What she said may never change, she will be alive. Today you saved a life. You and your family are in my prayers. Sean |
