Secondly, speak to a doctor, yourself and get help. Your girl is 13, not 16. Your incharge, tell her the brutal truth and make her listen!
Reply from Erin, Child's Age 20 - 08/11/07 - IP#: 69.142.232.xxx Your daughter has been through an unbelievably traumatic experience at a very young age. Please tell me she's seeing a therapist...the fact that she gained 190 pounds in 2 years is obviously a sign that she's trying to find a way to cope. Yes, the weight is a problem but not the underlying issue. Focus on getting her better emotionally/mentally first and it's likely the physical side will eventually follow.
