PupZilla tells us more.
Hello everyone, Op here First off, holy crap i didnt think this would get published, but when i got the email that it did, i HAD to look at the comments. Secondly, she doesnt live with me most of the time, she lives with her dad and visits me one day a week and every other weekend. I am there for her and we talk a lot and are very close. Thirdly, i have NO idea why she said this. I talked to her after her friend left and she told me that she is very confident in herself, but feels that she wants to be a size 0, not a size 2. She is very open with me and i can spot when she is not being truthful from a mile away. I explained to her how it was highly inappropriate and she seemed to understand. The friend that she had over is one friend that neither me nor her father likes. She has influenced my daughter in an unhealthy way. If my ex or myself notices any more behavior like this then we will take her to therapy. My daughter definitely meant leukemia because when i asked her about it, she told me that it was not anorexia or bulimia that she was talking about. She is very confident with her body and i actually have to tell her to cover up sometimes because of what she wears. Anyway, I spoke with her and she now understands how bad cancer is and what it does to people. I will definitely be keeping a closer eye on her now and her father will too. And to those of you who said i was eavesdropping, she was in the living room, and i was coming down the stairs.

Schedule a parent / child learning experience so she can see first hand this leukemia that she's talking about. I am sure any of the patients would be more than happy to trade places with her.
why don't girls these days think that they are beautiful the way we are?

Because the media tells them they shouldn't.
I meant to say they...
be careful what you wish for.
What a idiot
Let's not forget it's possibly she doesn't realize what leukaemia is.
Shave her head. Then have a serious talk with her. She may be going through a body image phase. Still, shave her head.
I want to give you the "psychology award" of the year. "Oh ? My already skinny 14 year old daughter has such a bad body image, she wishes she had CANCER ? I'll shave her head, 14 year olds love that and it really helps getting a positive body image" Please don't raise kids, and if you ever do, don't do any of the BS you just talked about.
#71 - I think he was joking.
I think she ment bulimia... which is still terrible

If you get the chance OP have your daughter read this. My best friend just lost her step brother a few weeks ago to lymphoma which is very similar to leukemia. She was visiting me from our home state when she got the call. I was the one who held her as she cried. He was only in his early 20's. He went through several bouts of bone marrow transplants, which are extremely painful for both the doner and the receiver. His immune system started to reject everything, he looked like a burn victim. His skin was so dry and cracking to the point it would bleed. Then it would scar. He lost all of his teeth in the last few months of his life and was forced on to a liquid diet. He went from being on his way to a college basketball scholarship to bed ridden and confined to a wheel chair. He spent sometime in remission only to relapse about a year ago. He spent six years fighting and just couldn't fight anymore just last month. His whole body just shut down and he said he wasn't ready to die. These are the kind of complications that when you look up lymphoma that you won't find. It's not a funny joke nor is it a cool way to lose weight. He lost weight, because he couldn't eat or move or really anything else. Oh and there's a little issue of your hair falling out. I also just lost my Uncle to bone cancer 2 days ago. It's not cute nor funny to see my father upset over his brother being gone. He was there when he passed and said he never wanted to do anything like that again. A lot of people on here I'm sure will call me out as being "fake" however, I am happy to send the obits and FB pages your way. Is this all worth it for a size 0 jean?
Queen of the night I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom to gallbladder cancer. she found out she had it 5 weeks before she passed.
I actually had leukemia when I was 5. I don't remember losing any weight.
#74 I agree with #76, leukemia is an absolutely horrendous experience to live through. Especially as a caregiver. My husband had MDS which is a pre-leukemia that was cause by treatments for a bone marrow disease ten years ago. My husband is currently in his second year post-bone marrow transplant. And while the side effects #76 mentioned aren't on websites the doctors and nurses talk you through all possible side effects. So far the worst hubby got was the sores (external and internal) which caused him to go septic and the doctors threatened icu if he didn't rebound quickly enough. Unfortunately we also met many people through the bmt clinic which have had far tougher rides than my hubby. #76 I am so sorry for your losses. No one deserves to lose friends or family in such a manner.
Pancreatic and gall bladder cancer are so difficult to diagnose. Sorry about your mom :(
thank you
I'm not going to elaborate on how bad cancer is because it is obviously horrible, but why would anyone have an issue with you eavesdropping? That is YOUR daughter who is still underage. I'm 18 years old and I knew since I was a young child to watch my mouth in my mothers house & I still do when I'm visiting her. Even if you were listening to her conversations who cares? You're her mother & she was with a friend that you disapprove of. She's lucky you let her hang out with that friend with how you feel about him/her.
you're going to take your daughter to therapy because she made a stupid joke like normal teenagers do?
This makes me so angry. My uncle died from leukemia. It's a horrible disease. Let her know this. I saw him get worse, up to the point when he was dying and my parents wouldn't let me see him so I could remember him as he was. I still miss him to this day. Please, let her read this. Oh and some of the medication makes you fatter, not thinner.
Yeah, leukemia took out my grandfather four years ago this coming Sunday. He died about a week after his diagnosis his organs all failing and hooked to a ventilator. It's still very difficult to think about even today.
My brother told us he never wears a helmet while biking because if he gets hit by a car and he survives, we will have to take care of him for his entire life and at least he won't have to find a job and move out.
how does this even relate to the post?
Ahahahaha

I'm not big on smacking kids often, but I hope you smacked the stupid out of her.
