My mother and father have been divorced for around ten years now, so since I was 8/9 years old. They remain best friends and my father comes to pick my sister and me up every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday to have dinner at my Grandma's house. My Grandma lives in the next town over; probably a ten minute drive.

Recently, my Emetophobia has been stopping me from going with my father because I like to stay home so that if I do feel sick at all I am near my bathroom. When I try to explain this to my father, it is hard for him to understand. He tells me that if I had to be sick, I could be sick at my Grandma's house just as well as I could be sick in my own house. I understand this, and I know the way I think doesn't make much sense, but for whatever reason I am horrified to be sick anywhere other than my own bathroom.

Does anyone have any advice on how to properly explain the way this phobia makes you think to people without the fear? Does anyone else feel like I do, in that you need to stay close to home?

Thank you for reading and thank you for any opinions you may offer up!
