[QUOTE="Josie, post: 401570, member: 1792"] I agree with finding out what about the other 10% and what they think the diagnosis is. Maybe you could find a way to just not be around as much, but not actually have them say you won't be there if she doesn't eat. You could tell difficult child that you have some things to do and you don't think you will be able to be there that day. Then, they might have the opportunity to do what they need to do, but difficult child won't be in a defiant mode because you are not there. Hopefully they would let you call and talk to her or maybe stop by for a brief daily visit, but just not be there all of the time. When we did the CBT with my daughter, they were able to ease her into it because her issue wasn't eating. But she did still have to take the first step and deal with the anxiety and see that she would get through it. Her therapist told me that people did get very, very anxious about doing it. When she knew he was coming, she was very anxious and raged, talked about dying, and did some minor self injuries. I was afraid she would really hurt herself. I think it was intense anxiety and not bipolar, though. Once he was there, she had a good relationship with him and it wasn't so bad. They were in our house, but I was not with them while they worked. Maybe they feel that your daughter will be able to work with them better when you aren't there. That is assuming they are going to work with her. Are they just going to give her breakfast and tell her to eat it? [/QUOTE]
