<p>R33, I’m glad that you and your daughter have come up with a way to proceed. Believe me, you are not alone in this situation. </p>
<p>A friend of mine has a brilliant daughter with a terrible eating disorder. She has been treated for it many times. At the time she was going through her college decisions, she was doing fairly well. A compromise was made, allowing her to board at college as she wanted to do, but she had to choose a nearby school. She had wanted to go further away. Well, she relapsed and it turned out that commuting locally was really all she could handle for her undergraduate years. She is 28 now and working on her PHD at a top university and is now dealing with her health issue herself, but this was after many relapses and her mother will always be on the watch for another. She is by no means out of the woods. Sometimes those are the cards that we are dealt in terms of our children.</p>
