I doubt the anorexia, only in that he says he sees that he was losing weight and doesn't seem to be having any issues wanting to put it back on. I would think an anorexic would be in denial about being too thin and would fight to keep the weight off.

I don't understand why he didn't leave then! That's what is so weird about this story. Coming back and talking about the family now, and not trying to do something while he was there? Just doesn't make sense.

After I read this:

"He wants to visit Zimbabwe this summer as part of a volunteer program to build homes and trails."

I'm thinking no way in hell I would let him leave the country again
