For those following at home...
She is 5'7 88 pounds.
We all now have a plan in place to track her to recovery.
Part of the plan? Contain our fury that her boyfriend allowed her to get this way. For now.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Way back in the 1970s, a girl in our college dorm was diagnosed with anorexia, also exacerbated by a boyfriend who made her dread gaining an ounce. Her weight loss was so drastic that her parents brought her home for treatment. Back then, very little was understood about eating disorders. Hopefully you have access to much better medical and psychological resources now. Good luck.
@cassandra17lina We are TOLD the boyfriend has been trying to help her gain weight.
The real problem is he hides from us, therefore isn't communicating anything about her.
He was a professional couch surfer before they met.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I suggest doing a family session before discharge that includes your daughter, her boyfriend, you and your wife. @cassandra17lina
@CanisPundit @cassandra17lina we had an opportunity for such a session but we deferred because my wife would... (checks notes)
"verbally rip his face off"
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN and that's why you do the session with an impartial party - there are degrees of "face ripping" and as long as boyfriend is in the mix better to have scratches than bath salt smoking face ripping and ingestion - so to speak - outpatient and un-moderated. @cassandra17lina
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @CanisPundit @cassandra17lina
Have you had the "she's your girlfriend, but she's my daughter, and I'd hate for her to wonder what happened to you" talk? I find it can be very effective.

I know this is a dire time, but that did make me lol. ❤️your wife.
