[QUOTE="Josie, post: 391438, member: 1792"] Star has some good points, but I am not sure about the ER visits in this situation. If it is your plan to go to Oregon after the holidays, why wait? That would give difficult child some specific, focused help, by people experienced with her very issue, 24/7. When difficult child is better, there will be less strain in the family and more ability to cope with other things. You will get a break because you won't be the only one responsible for difficult child. She'll have nurses, doctors, therapists. You won't be there fighting with husband and easy child but you won't have just escaped, you will have gone off to do something that will help difficult child. Whatever you do, you need to find some way to get some real time for yourself. Maybe get a babysitter to come be with difficult child for a few hours a week. Even if she isn't eating during that time, it will help all of you if you have a break and more coping ability then. When the tutor starts coming, you might be able to use that time. When I had the tutor come last year, the tutor wanted to provide a break for me as well as tutor my daughter. For the babysitter, you might be able to find a mature teen or college student that would be fun and a social outlet for difficult child. [/QUOTE]
