Our 15yr old DGD has lived with us for 8yrs following domestic violence at home. DH and I count ourselves really lucky to have had 8 years of fab fun and laughter and travel with her. Lately she's been hyper critical of me to my face about all sorts of things - what I eat, print off, say etc and often refuses point blank to do small things I've asked. She's taking one of her GCSEs this year so a bit of pressure there but gets on fine with revision with no asking and no hassle. Has very few friends and never asks them home, we have a modern home with wide screen etc and lead busy active lives but she always comes first. She's won awards, plays in school band, school ambassador etc but currently has a rigid routine of 2 hourly gym visits and will only eat 'healthy' food. I can see us teetering on the edge of eating problems and really don't want DH and me to go there ever again - we spent years in the early 90s supporting my DD through bulimia and anorexia. Anyone with similar probs?
