[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 398277, member: 2322"] Jena I suspect that most of us have been pushed beyond the breaking point at one time or another with our difficult children. I hope that in Oregon she will not only get some help for her eating disorder/phobia but also for her other issues. I hope that you will be able to enlist the docs in helping your achieve a bit more healthy separation from you. I would tell them that you need at least several hours each day (if not more) to be by yourself and do things for yourself. the weather in Portland should at least allow you to go for a long walk each day (bring your rain jacket) along the river and maybe the docs can even guide you to somewhere that would have free or cheap yoga classes or the like each day. As you know, the whole medication thing is a crapshoot and it might takes weeks to dial in something. Hopefully you will have good feelings about the docs and let them work on the medications. It sounds like the kind of place that wil use a feed tube so you can at least relax about difficult child getting some nutrition. I suspect that with some distance from both difficult child and your husband that you will be able to reconnect in a better way and that your stress level will go down. Your anxiety level has got to be really high right now as is difficult children I wouldn't even have too many talks with her about the whole thing, just stress that this will help her get back to a normal life and leave it at that. Don't be surprised if she has a sudden miraculous bout of eating this week for awhile. Go anyway to Oregon if she does. good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
