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.
The recovering person does not want to be visually scrutinized, touched, hugged, or put at the center of the family’s conversation.You should simply tell her that it is great to see her. 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.
You don’t say why you are so curious about this very long-ago love affair — at this stage in your own life.
