DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOUR DAUGHTER

'The change in our daughter Jo was so gradual we didn't really take it too seriously to begin with', admits Wendy, 42. 'Being on a diet seemed quite normal for a teenager. (0) I. But her slimming got out of control. 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 when she was eating.____ (1) _____ She also insisted on cooking for the rest of us. But we eventually gave up trying to get her to accept food from us. ____ (2) ____ 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._____ (3) ____

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. _____ (4) ____ 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 did not want to break free of her condition.'

was to leave. At this point Jo started to sob uncontrollably. 'Don't leave me, Mummy, 'she begged. 'Please don't leave me.'

____ (6) _____They got her strength up by feeding her and then arranged for her to see the hospital psychiatrists, recommended her for specialist 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 and wild accusations.
