[QUOTE="nvts, post: 404287, member: 3814"] Jena! You have to keep reminding yourself that she's not entirely in control of herself or her behaviors right now. Has there ever been a recommendation that she do a long term stay with an eating disorders Residential Treatment Center (RTC) type of thing or long term hospitalization? The only reason that I ask is that one of difficult child 1's issues is his dependency on me. Almost all of his behaviors come down to "attention seeking...FROM ME!" Once he's got it, the behavior settles down and he starts "cooperating". Yes. Her behavior is abnormal. Yes, she's looking for your attention. Yes, she's overly attached to you. Yes, she's got to break this "umbilical cord" that she's created post-utero. Yes, she's not going to do this with you coaxing every bite into her mouth. Yes, YOU NEED A BREAK FROM THIS TOO!!!. Truthfully, maybe it's time for them (the staff/docs/nurses) to be the party making all medication decisions and working the food issues with her. Money is tight - you might want to settle in at the hotel for two or three days and let her THINK that you went home for a few days. Why pay airfare? Go site seeing. Take in a movie. Enjoy a book. Discuss your plans with the staff and let them know that you're concerned that she's overly attached. These are highly trained and skilled people. But if she sees you disagreeing, fighting with, or superceding the decisions of the docs/staff, she's not going to learn to trust them. Take a break...please - you shouldn't be deteriorating because shes putting you through the wringer. Remember that in order to properly handle ALL of the mental issues, you'll most likely end up with a cocktail of medications anyway. Big, warm and sincere big hugs to you...you need 'em! :notalone: Beth [/QUOTE]
