She is young and beautiful, a vibrant girl that had grown up right before my eyes. I have watched her catch fireflies and devour Popsicles at summer cookouts with my children. Her mother is my best friend and we have stayed up many a night worried about our children, chatting over coffee about normal parenting issues. We all take an openly active role in the upbringing of the children simply because we are always together.
One day we went to dinner together to celebrate a birthday. Our daughters both fooled around at the table like giddy teens will do. My friend's daughter seemed to be eating ravenously this night, I had never noticed her doing this before but thought little of it. She then excused herself to the restroom, I inadvertently followed a few moments later. I heard her purging in the stall. She came out and started crying when she saw me standing there in shock. I was begged to keep this between the two of us, as she did not want to involve her mother. She promised she would stop immediately, a few weeks later I found her purging again.
She is (in my eyes) a thin girl already but claims her friends are all smaller and tease her. Once again I was asked to keep the secrecy, but she had already broken her end of the deal. I feel like getting her mom involved might add more pressure to her and want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I have been questioning my place in this matter for weeks now. She trusts me and obviously needs a confidant.
What would you do?
Wellcome !
