Just explain that she may feel that way, but that it can't happen. Tell her it

will melt long before she chokes. I went through this with my dd when she got

her expander in her mouth and the stupid pills would get caught in between that

and the roof of her mouth. What a nightmare!!!!!

She might surprise you! My almost 13 yr old can only swallow tiny pills and my 6

yr old swallows pills since last year like nothing.

Thanks Judy> i am still working on it, Trying to force her to do it

in time for the overnight is making her defiant> i just hate the

thought of dropping off pills with the name risperdone on it to my

unaccpeting family. I know we need the marriage weekend but just the

thought of exposing my two kids is causes me daily stress and I might

just cancel the trip. It feels itis not worth the hassel. Plus I have

never left them for two nights and that is also difficult.

I dont want to be bullied by OCD and want to live my life not in fear

of what others think, but when it is me and my child having to expose

these drugs I am having a problem. really stressed and sad.

Thanks
