both situations are stressfull, but i don't think "assist" feeding is on the same level as "force feeding"
with assist feeding all you are doing is taking the pinkie and placing the pinkie in the mouth of the snake. let the teeth grab onto the pinkie and wait to see if the snake will eat on it's own after that.
force feeding is just that you are forcing the pinkie into the mouth down to the stomach.
i think if eats after the assist feeding and the snake gets that meal in, stomach juices get to work and it should start eating on it's own after that.
good luck, i know how much stress you are going through right now. just hang in there i'm sure everything will work out in the end.
