So tonite my eight and a half year old son drank a lot of chocolate milk, and v*. It was over so quickly, and he was fine after, but he is displaying so many signs of emet. I am so devastated. I suspected this, but tonite he really showed me. He was scared, and he paced. I thought I was the only one who paced. I could see it in his face, he was there, that place we all hate more than anything. He hates it so much that he will v*while pacing, and not even try to make it to the toilet, because, like me, he is in damn denial that it will happen. So my question is, what do I do? I feel like taking him to therapy to nip this in the bud, but I don't mind admitting there will be some pride swallowing there because I will have to tell them where he gets it. I would do it though. Or do I act non-chalant about it, hoping he will adopt that attitude? I don't want to push him into something, yet I do not remember my emet coming on quite that early in age. I'm so scared, I feel so alone because no one knows about my emet, no one at all. My husband knows I don't like to do it, but he has no clue. Not even my best friend since childhood, but I'm thinking of telling her soon. He has done pretty well whenever he has gotten a sv, I mean he cries right before he v*, but he doesn't seem too panicked to me at that point. Of course he did tonite. Then afterward, he said, "I don't feel like eating anything.....ever." Then he told me he was scared to v*. I asked my other son if he was scared, and he shrugged his shoulders and said "eh." He's so laid back. What do I do here? I see me in him, and I'm not proud of that. It must be a genetic thing because I always take care of them when they're sick, although I'll admit my nerves are probably showing a little bit. Would that do it? I feel like saying something crazy, like its a curse. I'm so sad right now. Please give me your advice. What do I do here........Janna
