My Anorexic 9-Year-Old

I Had No Idea My 9-Year-Old Was Starving Herself

My 9-year-old daughter was starving herself to death. And somehow, God forgive me, I didn’t notice until it was almost too late.

We were busy running from soccer to swim lessons to play dates. But that’s no excuse. The mere idea of a fourth-grader becoming anorexic was so foreign, so wild and so far-fetched, that it never crossed my mind.
