[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 387423, member: 2423"] Jen, hugs going out to you tonight. I remember telling you on the phone the other morning that your daughter's choking phobia is the hardest thing you will ever face as a parent. I meant it, truly. In my 17 years as a parent, M's eating disorder was the scariest and most challenging event I've ever had to live through. Not only because a choking phobia is a rare disorder -- and therein lies the challenge because few understand it and can treat it appropriately -- but also because the illness places such incredible demands on the parent to sustain life. Let's face it -- you haven't had to be this responsible for your daughter's life since she was a toddler. I'm not saying all this to make you feel worse. I'm saying it all to recognize why you feel so spent. It's no wonder. I'm holding a positive thought for you and C that a solution is found soon. Again, hugs for your hurting mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
