DS (17) and DD (14) are very close and always have been quite close. Sadly, DD (14) is being treated for anorexia at an eating disorder clinic and has been there for 3 weeks. However she came home on Friday at around 5pm and we are dropping her back there tommorow morning. DH thinks it's just because he's close to DD and thinks I'm overreacting but DS became very upset this afternoon and kept pulling DD to one side to talk to her i suppose but shortly after he'd spoken to her they wondered off. I assumed they'd one to sit in the playroom with the younger ones or the lounge to chat or watch tv but when I went to find them both around an hour later I found them on DS's bed. They were lying next to each other and watching a film which isn't anything new as this has happened atleast three or four times before. What I can't get my head around is why DS suddenly locked the door and called out 'I'll be down in 5 mins' when he heard me call his name, I don't understand why he did that which makes me feel like something was happening that he didn't want me to know about. Is this type of clingey/controlling behaviour unusual in an older teenage boy?
I don't know whether I should be concerned or not as he spent a lot of time being really upset around her at any mention of her going back.
He tries to steer DD away from her other brother and younger siblings. I'm wondering if anyone could suggest reasons to perhaps why he is acting like he is?
Thanks for reading and sorry it's so long!
