Miguel'sMom, your "plan" would work great if I didn't share a room with my daughter. You see we are not fortunate enough to live on our own and share a bedroom in my parents' house. That's beside the point. She spends 70% of her time with me and the other 30% with her father where she shares a room with her 2 little sisters. What you are suggesting is that I act like she is still inpatient, that is not going to happen. If she needed to still be there she would or she would be in residential. As for the daycare situation, there aren't any daycares around here that take kids older than 6th grade. My daughter is in 7th. I do not work and therefore do not have the funds to have her involved at the Y. She used to dance up until Oct 2013, when SHE chose to quit for reasons that do not matter here. She gets things taken away when she is disobedient, but it doesn't phase her.

IzzyMeadows, she sees her therapist once a month because her therapist is very booked. She has only seen her twice, so I am not sure about how things are going to work out. Finding a therapist that takes her insurance is like finding a needle in a haystack. It is ironic that you mention Mercy Ministries. My ED therapist was telling me about them today. My daughter isn't old enough yet to receive their services. You have to be at least 13. I might be able to get her in sooner because she will be 13 in 4 months. I have to do some inquiring about it though. She will openly admit that she has anger issues to me about her father and I getting divorced and her father remarrying.
