Hi all--teen daughter with overeating and weight problem. I believe therapy is useful (based on a lifetime of experience), wife thinks therapy is useless (based on a lifetime of experience). I don't believe you can draw a linear objective set of proofs that demonstrate its usefulness for my daughter; but I understand its value. Wife looks at the fact that daughter had a small piece of cake tonight as proof that daughter isn't learning anything at therapy and all she needs is some willpower and white-knuckling through things as opposed to endless blah blah therapy. My feeling is daughter is trying. Part of the problem is that wife doesnt want to pay for therapy any more. I''m angry and sad that my wife just wants to pull the plug on therapy, but its hard to argue against her.
