[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 383283, member: 3493"] Jena - I am glad that your daughter has a doctor whom you trust and with whom you feel safe leaving your daughter. I think he is right about the medications - the therapy can't really be effective until she is capable of letting it be. Now that it's been established that there is nothing physically preventing her from eating or swallowing, the psychiatric component is at the forefront. The good news is that the doctor is willing to work with you to get your X in line so that you don't have to deal with it alone anymore. Hopefully, the talk therapy will deal with your daughter's anger about your divorce - from what you say, it was the 1000% right thing to do but she is too young to have memory of how dangerous it was for you and her to be around him. It seems like she is trying to guilt you into getting back with her dad - did she ratchet up her behaviors when you remarried? and that's not going to happen so she has to learn to deal with it. It's like she has a fantasy or a delusion and maybe she thinks that if she's sick, you and her dad will get together to take care of her. She needs to come to grips with the fact that that won't happen and only the therapists can help her do that. Real life is not The Parent Trap. Hopefully, once she has dealt with these underlying issues, she will go on and have a happy rest of her life. She has a great start on it with your support. [/QUOTE]
