Is you child ready to fly the nest?

Would anyone be able to share advice on getting my daughter ready for college this fall?  We are still in therapy for a restrictive eating disorder that began 18 months ago and was quickly caught.  Although her weight is restored, she does still have some disordered eating thoughts, but seems to understand that she must carefully manage her eating when she leaves the same as we do now.  Her college is only 45 minutes from home and our therapist will be working with us on a "contract" in the upcoming weeks.  Any thoughts that anyone could share would be appreciated.  I am very anxious about sending her off and want to be sure that I am considering everything that I need to.
