[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and thank you for the comments. I already made her an appointment with the family doctor and I'm planning to find a therapist. I have never pushed her in swimming, she is just extremely driven. She even complained about taking a week off during the summer when I made her go on vacation with me. I plan to do something about the coach but I'm not sure what at this point, I'm more worried about her. The coach has been there for almost 30 years and is very respected. [b]Up until now I even thought he has been a good father figure to her [/b](her father is no longer in the picture). I just hate seeing her in so much pain. I did try to get her to quit swimming but does not want to. Should I make her quit? [/quote]

Oh dear. He certainly could be a good father figure to her in other ways, and maybe means well even with this weighing thing. But there's nothing worse than a father who critiques a girl's weight (or appearance or attractiveness).

I would speak to him privately. He's probably just clueless rather than sadistic, and in any event, her coach needs to know about this health development.

Good for you for involving health care professionals ASAP. Very best wishes.[/quote]
