Im new here i know I'm a dad but i think thats okay. I have seen threads on here but have never been a member. I would like to thank you for taking your time to read this I'm very grateful for all advice.

I will give you are background i have too sons aged 16 and (14 almost 15) from a previous relationship with my wife, they live with us full time and spend 1 night away every three weeks with their mum. I have 1 stepson who lives with us full time as his father sadly passed away 5 years ago due to a car accident. I have two little twins aged 1.

Stepson has a number of what i suspect as mental health issue. I believe stepson has a drinking problem, liquor and wine have gone missing in recent months and i have disposed of all alcohol to prevent stepson getting any drink. My son has caught stepson drinking in the park and told me. I believe stepson suffers from anorexia his weight is just over 8st and he is 6ft we went on holiday over christmas and you can see his ribcage and hip bones and he looks really thin compared to my son who is the same age (roughly). I want to help him through this and he needs support we have tried the gp but he refuses to go.

Any advice please David

Yes things have improved we are watching dss eating very carefully and he managed to eat all his food last night. Hopefully we can help him put on weight and also improve the physiological aspect to anorexia.
