Sorry its been a while since the last reply, things have been a little hectic.
The next day was very upsetting for her, lots of tears and even more silence. She has been lucky with social workers, hers is very nice and understanding - however talking about such difficult things proved to be too hard.
Sadly her eating disorder got worse and she needed to spend some time at a hospital designed for children/teenagers with eating disorders. Since she has been out, eating has improved, but I think this is due to the fear that she'd have to go back should she lose weight and fail to gain it back. Such a shame that a girly night in with a dvd and munchies would be a nightmare for her...
Since being home she has mentioned a few things that are concerning. I think she wants to talk but doesn't know how? So when something relates she will say "when I was at my mums....." but be light with the detail. We're doing a lot of 'retraining' with her on whats ok to keep private if she wishes and whats not. There has been no contact since she came back into care, she asked the other day about her mum but this was the first time and it has been months. The only interest that has been shown from her family seemed more because she 'belonged' to them and now isn't there. It will be going to court but there is still so much information that is missing, we need to be patient with H so that we are not putting more pressure on her.
