[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 392813, member: 1991"] A new therapist - so wait and see. Take a few minutes to just sit, and tell yourself to wait. She's getting some nourishment, although it's not satisfactory for you at the moment. difficult child is getting by. Don't pin your hopes on another hospital, especially when you are currently in such strong control mode, that you know you will find it difficult to hand control over to someone else who you will worry will be doing it all wrong. I've read books written by people with eating disorders (for example) who describe what they went through in various places that specialise in treating such problems. I know if my child were going through such treatment andI were in your shoes, I would be screaming at them. But the reason I am reading these books, is because their authors are still on this earth and want to share their experience so we can all learn from it. In other words - they not only survived, they came through it. Thew treatments at these centres are for the most extreme cases and it looks barbaric. Your daughter looks too much like a classic anorexic to the casual observer, that is how she would be treated almost certainly. So stick with what is getting you through for now, and see how the new therapist goes. As for the peanut butter - have you tried making your own, fresh? Also other nut butters made fresh, such as cashew butter - delicious! Of course, if you make it yourself there are always the occasional piece of nut that didn't quite get chopped up enough; it could reintroduce her to texture. Cashews are a softer nut, so pieces may be easier for her to manage. Meanwhile, take time for yourself as others have suggested. difficult child needs to see you taking care of yourself.
