My stepmom infuriated me...

because she swore I had an eating disorder and made me sit down and watch tapes. The reason I stayed in the restroom so long is because I have a spastic colon and irritable bowel syndrome, yes, at 14 years old! I have always been skinny (have had 2 kids, went up to over 190 pounds and am down to 115 while continuing to eat like a horse...never dieted a day in my life), did not all of the sudden lose a lot of weight or anything, nothing that would have been a sign other than my restroom habits, which were embarrassing enough without her mentioning this to the whole family! She did this in front of everyone too, without having come to me first and talking to me about it. This is on top of her discussing all of this with everyone else prior to having me sit down and watch tapes.
Your step-daughter sounds like she has many signs though, especially the prune juice and obsessing over not using the restroom. Just give her a little respect, show her some love and get her some help. If the dad doesn't want to step in because he doesn't think it is a problem, then maybe you should print some information out for him to read, especially the signs to look for. Good luck!

Ya know...my stepmom tried this on me too
when I stopped eating meat and eating from KFC. She said, do you know how many children there are starving in other countries? I asked her what one had to do with another. Me choosing not to eat at a certain place cost absolutely nothing, takes none of my time....nothing. This has nothing to do with priorities. I would hope that someone who feels so strongly about animal rights also feels very strongly about the rights of children. That's not the topic at hand though. One does not take away from another. Thank you, but my priorities are straight. :)
From what I read, his real mother was off the scene very very early on. Stepmom raised him
