Dear Amy: I have a beautiful, smart and wonderful 16-year-old granddaughter who is anorexic. She has been at a special care facility for the past two months and will be returning home within a couple of weeks.
Dear Amy: I have a beautiful, smart and wonderful 16-year-old granddaughter who is anorexic.
Keep in mind that returning from an in-patient program marks a stage in recovery, but is not the end of recovery. Your granddaughter’s recovery is a process that could take a very long time.It is common for people returning from treatment to feel awkward, “on stage,” and the unwanted focus of the entire family’s attention. I think this is especially challenging for teenagers.
Eating disorders are family diseases. I heartily support your instinct to seek support. The facility where your granddaughter has received treatment should offer support groups for family members.
