[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 382217, member: 1233"] Giving them jobs to do is a good idea. Remember that you do NOT have to live with your ex so if you offend/upset his parents, they will get over it or not. You don't have to listen to them. So if you need them to back off, or feel you should tell them that they can NOT mention eating or food to difficult child, do it. You can always hang up the phone or not answer it if they call and harrass you later. Today is about difficult child and her recovery. in my opinion she does NOT NOT NOT need a bunch of extra people around right now, but if she is expecting them and worrying she won't get to see them, you will have to weigh things and decide whether or not to allow the hospital to keep you from her if she is not able to eat. in my opinion the fact that after 4 days she still is spending 5 hours sitting in front of food is likely a sign that she [I]cannot[/I] eat as opposed to [I]will not[/I] eat. Cannot is a function of her phobia - and the fear is real to her even if it isn't to anyone else. Will not is a function of ODD, gfgness or whatever else anyoen wants to say it is. Hugs. This is about difficult child, and about getting your tummy feeling better. don't make nice for the grands. Do what difficult child needs, they are adults and can cope on their own. [/QUOTE]
