She claims to be a teenage girl and writes: “I don’t know my real father and my step/adoptive father sexually abuses me. My mum knows but chooses to ignore it. She also drinks too much and has issues with her own weight. “I have a younger brother and I love him more than anything in the world. He’s the main reason I’m not dead already. “I began having image problems at eight years old. I started my first diet at eight. I began throwing up at 11, and spent my first day starving at 13. “I’m 17 now and it shows no signs of relenting — but that’s a good thing! I can’t spend the rest of my days fat.

Two of the worst cases of eating disorders I've had to deal with were the result of long term sexual abuse. Oh yeah, one of them is now in her mid to late 50's. She has a disorder, but she's managed to survive thus far....just totally mad.
