[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 403112, member: 3444"] My dad, who was agoraphobic, behaved similarly at family gatherings. He purposely avoided eating while everyone else was eating and would always linger before getting in the buffet line during holidays, usually coming to the table to eat after everyone else had finished. In hindsight, I think he was avoiding having to eat in front of people. He had no problem going to restaurants with my mom, as long as they were quiet and he had access to an "escape" route. I agree with the others about making sure her anxiety is addressed first and foremost -- from what I've read in your posts so far, food doesn't seem to be the root of the problems she's having.
