Thank you for your great interest and compassion and I understand your expressed passion about homeopathy. I realize that this is a difficult case and most likely one that does have to be handled by an in-person homeopath.

As for going off medication I don't have the guts for this right now, and unless there was someone who said that they knew how and had the confidence to lead the way through it, I couldn't do it and I have not approached that with my homeopath. I'm thinking I may need the ability to have more contact with a homeopath than I have with mine. I don't know.

As for the breaking point of my daughter, there seem to be two - one re anorexia - where it seems that she found she could control her eating by just eating bread (after having a flu and just eating bread because that's all she could tolerate) which then led her to find further control over food. Re OCD, this did seem to be tipped by going a little further than she was comfortable with sexually and then feeling dirty (probably combined with the guilt of some motherly warning I had said to her regarding sex - not harsh just cautious). I actually know that for a fact. The breakup was after the damage was already done and she both initiated the breakup and welcomed it. They remain friends but she is still a little uncomfortable around him.

Anyways, you're right, the point is figuring out how to proceed from here. I guess I'll just be muddling along, the best way I know how. Your offer is very kind, by the way. Actually I'm not quite clear what you're saying - I'm sure you're not serious. But thank you.
