'Anna was making me eat myself from the inside out'
'A true story that will evoke a strong emotional response amongst all members of a family that has a child or sibling tormented by Anorexia Nervosa.'

Captivity
Another week passed.
Watching, waiting, dreading.
It was meal time.
The sound of the food trolleys.
Made all of our heads spin.
Our stomachs knot.
Supervised eating.
Six times a day.
Breakfast.
Morning Tea.
Lunch.
Afternoon tea.
Dinner.
Supper.
These were the times.
We thought of escape.
We were spiteful and deceitful.
We wanted to take vengeance.
We wanted our lives back.
I wanted to go home.
