T--I have wicked smart kids and neither of them at age 8 would have made that kind of statement to me and we moved many times. Just more cake eating. She is recognizing that she is codependent with mom but doesn't want to move away? She knew then it was a runaway train that she couldn't stop but now a few weeks later she can express all that? I hope she sticks with her therapy and really digs into why she does this stuff, including trying to get you back immediately instead of waiting some proscribed time period to make sure her changes have "stuck" and giving you time to heal before drawing you back into her mess.
