[QUOTE="Shari, post: 364355, member: 1848"] How very truly sad, Change. At least you had a chance for some respite. Have you had any luck finging an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for her yet? My step-daughter, cultured difficult child, was a petite, tiny little thing til her dad and mom split. In retaliation, her mom pulled her out of all activity because her dad would go and watch her (mom kept her from dad for a LONG time) and wouldn't let her play outside. Stepdaughter doubled in size that first year, and now she just turned 13, is 5'4", and weighs 180+. Wearing women's size 16. At Christmas, she was in 12's. Last summer, she was in 6's and 8's. She hasn't grown any taller in the past year, but gained 5 sizes. She has heart disease, diabetes, and back problems prevalent in her family, and now she has a weight issue she will probably fight all her life. It makes me sad to think of a lifetime of struggle and health issues for her that were so un-necessary...so that I can relate to...but I don't know what to do to help her, either. Anyway...hugs. I hope you can find regular respite until you find an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for her. [/QUOTE]
