Just -

I just read your post from 3/31. That's awful about your neighbor stabbing his wife.

I totally agree with you that your daughter's anorexia is related to the loss of her father. I saw a story on Erma Bombeck tonight. She said as a child she had a Mommy doll and a Daddy doll. She said she the Mommy doll had a lot to do, but she didn't know what the Daddy doll did, so she just threw him under her bed. She said in real life one day when she was nine, her father didn't go to work. He went to the hospital, and died the next day. She said she got the doll out from under her bed, and wondered why she missed her father so much, when he didn't do anything.

Your daughter can't bring her father back, but she can feel like she has some control by not eating.

I'm sorry.
