Yes, the narrative is of a controlling and abusive father, but I suspect its more complex and subtle than that. Teens with eating disorders are some of the most difficult people to deal with, as family, friends and patients. They can be so manipulative. I wonder if this might be an example of folie au deux. The father is so absolutely clueless about his daughters condition suggests to me he is sharing her delusions.

I worked as a resident in a gastro unit many decades ago and we had the displeasure of having to look after the most severe eating disorder patients who required naso-gastric feeds or parenteral nutrition (via IV). They were the most manipulative people I have ever met, they were so controlling of their poor families.

As is the way with the world, my oldest daughter developed anorexia about 15 years ago. She remains that way to this day. She will probably die because of the disease. It's a dreadful illness.

A friend of mine wrote a book about her experience with anorexia. She wrote it to help families and health care professionals. https://www.booktopia.com.au/a-caut...8kfjHBW2SW-_Q0VRr2PD_KtgQBK8YlZFppKr-9FabJ3my

A teenage girl was so malnourished her ballet teacher felt she was fading away before her eyes, a Perth court has been told.

The girl's parents are on trial, accused of starving the girl who weighed just 27 kilograms when she was finally taken to hospital at the age of 17 in 2021.

Two separate dance teachers have testified about how they tried to raise their concerns about the girl's health with her parents, but were repeatedly rebuffed.

The emaciated Perth teenager's parents have been convicted by a District Court jury of causing their daughter to suffer after a trial lasting several weeks.

The parents sentencing will be at a later date.
