I wondered if there might be a link between alcohol use in families and eating disorders. Kind of makes sense really, because of how messed up kids get because of parental alcoholism. She's also at 'that' age too. But, we don't want this getting to be a problem, down the road of anorexia as we're sure her mum has suffered anorexia in the past. When my husband was with her she wouldn't eat, barely a tomatoe a day at times, but he always put that down to the gallons of cider she was consuming at the time. She definitely has dysmorphic issues though, and we cannot be sure that she hasn't passed these onto her daughter. After all, kids pick up on things don't they.

She's a little brighter today, and has returned home from school having just auditioned for the school production of Wizard of Oz. I hope she gets a part, something to throw herself into and concentrate on. But, it's what's going on inside her poor little head that's worrying.

I wonder if her mother has any idea of the damage she's caused.
