I'm sorry about your daughter, 10der. I hope they straighten it out soon. Does she, by any chance, drink sodas? For some reason, it sometimes helps me to cut back on my diet coke intake. I'm not sure if it's the caffeine or the acid. And of course vegetables....
Don't take Dr. Bob's words too much to heart. I doubt he meant anything particularly offensive by it. You know how he likes to echo themes. Personally, I think it's the whole psychiatric training thing. Not meant to be more than therapeutically provocative and perhaps, in his own way, empathetic by using the same images already in use in the thread. But Dr. Bob can speak for himself. Quite possibly even in a way that can work to repair unintentional rifts.
I understand your frustrations with regards to the new Babble. I guess in some ways posters learn to work things out themselves, but in other ways it can lead to vigilance on our parts that might have previously been left to Dr. Bob. I guess it takes a new sort of communicative style that might or might not be right for you. I, of course, hope you can find a way that does make it tolerable for you.
