Hi PArob, I urge you to take kml's advice very seriously. My foster daughter was anorexic when she moved in with us at age 15, and it is a really serious, life-threatening disease. She had a choice of working on it with me, or if not hospitalization was the other option. She decided to trust me. I had her in therapy for 3 years, and with a nutritional counselor and on anti-depressants for 6 months. The ED lasted approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years before we got a handle on it, and that is pretty good. The longer your W continues with the ED, the worse it will get. It does not get better on it's own. She will not be able to manage it herself. And she could die. I was shocked when I had the blood work done on my D to find out how close to the danger zone she was. I am also concerned for your daughters, who are looking to your W and to you as role models. Begin the educative process and decide on what steps must be taken. It is not an easy road. Everyone in our household was affected. You did the right thing by beginning to ask for advice and help. Please continue - there are many experts with ED who can help you sort out what to do.
