‘ The change in our daughter Jo was so gradual we didn’t really take it too seriously to begin with’, admits Wendy,43.‘Being on a diet seemed quite normal for a teenage. 0………I……She changed from a well-built, happy athletic girl of 16 into a pale, irritable walking skeleton and the more we tried to get her to eat, the more she rebelled.’

‘ No one was allowed near her with when she was eating. 45………… . She also insisted on cooking for the rest of us. But we eventually gave up trying to get her to accept food from us. 46……………… . She always seemed to be on the go-cooking, clearing the table – often before the rest of us had even finished – and washing – up. For a long time she refused to even believe she had a problem. 47…………………………

‘Eventually she was so weak I got her admitted into hospital with the doctor’s help. My husband and I had to literally drag her screaming into the car. 48……………………. Jo was gripped with fear and panic and I felt so guilty. But we were desperate. .We thought that in hospital she might discover that she actually didn’t want to break free of her condition.’

‘49……………………….. The doctor told us that the best thing we could do was to leave.t this point Jo started to sob uncontrollably. ”Don’t leave me, Mummy”, she begged. “Please don’t leave me”. ’

‘50…………………………They got her strength up by feeding her and then arranged for her to see the hospital psychiatrist, who recommended her for special help.’

‘Jo’s recovery has been slow. Living with her is like living on a knife edge where the slightest word can trigger sobbing and screaming ad wild accusations. At first I just felt this terrible guilt. 51…………….. I don’t think Jo will ever be free from her anorexia but she is learning to keep it under control.’

That dreadful moment will stay in my mind for ever.

Turning my back on her cries and leaving her there was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do.

But afterwards I felt this terrible frustration at not being able to help her.

Teenagers, in my opinion, usually have huge appetites.

When we got there she’d calmed down into an angry silence.

Any attempt was met with screaming and hysterical fits.

She’d shut herself in the kitchen and then sneak up to her bedroom which always remained locked, and strictly out of bounds.

During this time all we could do was watch while our daughter slowly starved herself to death.

But her slimming got out of control.
