[QUOTE="andcol, post: 642172, member: 96315"] [USER=84857]@Molly56[/USER] :( He really does need to take control of himself and unfortunately all you can do is encourage or stay out of the way and let him get on with it. Just make sure that he knows you aren't going to nurse him when he loses his leg, eyesight, etc to D. As for your snacks and food likes you need to eat them and not hide them away. He needs to get use to people eating the things he cannot around him. As for no bread and just a spoon. Well that is a step in the right direction ;) I am like that with peanut butter or any form of roasted peanuts actually.; they are my Achilles' heal.
