[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 134153, member: 393"] [B]The eating disorder must be addressed - there is an underlying stressor pushing your difficult child to eat to this level. I noted that you adopted the siblings together & that difficult child son is no longer in the home. We have a very similar situation . kt's anxiety is, at times, through the roof & her eating is out of control. She steals, hoards, eats until she throws up & then goes back for more. On the other hand, like right now, kt is very controlled with her eating, almost to the point of not eating at all. We have no happy medium here. Eating disorders tend to be common in traumatized young women; stealing & hoarding food is common in traumatized, neglected adopted children. I don't know your difficult children hx so I just mention this. Either way, your difficult child needs treatment. How do you react - like a warrior mum getting your child every intervention you can at this time. The other people can be understanding or not - I don't care. You hold your head high because you know you're a good mother who is doing her best to help her traumatized child. A traumatized child with a very serious disorder. Not unlike cancer or diabetes or any number of other walk a thons we support every year. Your difficult children behaviors are frightening to the other children most likely; they go home & tell mum & dad who get angry. Seriously, sweetie, get your difficult child some help. The only reaction that needs to changes is the others - their need for education. [/B] [/QUOTE]
