kevin, what was it like for you when you thought something wasn't right with roisin?you think was coming on? it was very difficult, i had no idea what was going on because whilst that was happening with roisin, and i found out through various different routes, but a phone call from her school was what really brought it into the immediacy, there is life going on as well, and it wasn't something that i understood or i had any experience of, even though i've spent my working life working with young people, and to be fair, it was something i thought, i don't understand this, this doesn't happen to us, what on earth are they talking about? this can't be true, and it is something i need to fix and put right as quickly as i can, because i'm roisin's dad, and i'm there to fix things, and that was my initial confusion, was, right, this is a problem, how do i deal with it? on the issue with anorexia as there is no one way to fix it, and i didn't realise that at the start. and gabrielle, you actually recognised roisin‘s difficulties, if i can put it like that, before medical pro

i am roisin's dad andi quickly as i can., how do i deal with it? the issue with anorexia is there is no one way to fix it and i didn't realise that at the start. you recognised roisin's difficulties before medical professionals did, what did you see? you are officially diagnosed at 16 but you noticed signs at 12. when she was 11, when she was in year six at primary school, that was the first time i was aware roisin had difficulties. it started when they were weighing the children in year six. they were talking about bmi and everything. roisin at that time was very, very sporty. she was on every team imaginable, she loved sport. but she had picked up from the tv that people who did sport could actually have a higher bmi because of their muscle and she calculated all this in her head and she was hysterical saying, i don't want to be weighed, i don't want to get into school and be weighed. i went into school and said, i don't want you to weigh her, she's really upset about it. that was unusual behaviour for an 11—year—old. was
