Food.. and NO food.

maybe this isn't the right place to post this but meh, here it is.

My Step-Sister has been suffering for a while with Anorexia Nervosa, and my family is trying very hard to cope with how to handle her.

It has been going on for a few years now (she has been hospitalized twice)and she has just moved back into home and stopped working all together (she is 22 yrs old). She doesnt do anything during the day (except exercise, although she is too 'weak' to work) the family is paying for all her expenses (car, loans, allowance) which i disagree with. she is causing great division and fights between our family because everyone wants to deal with it differently. we have tried interventions with her shrink, tried princess treatment, tried being harsh.

I was looking up on the net some sites that might help me understand a bit more and found this ...

Which is just... crazy!

I was just posting this to ask if anyone else has had any experience with the disease before and how to handle a stubborn patient.
