[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 570769, member: 2315"] As you know difficult child will not be at our holiday functions for a long time due to incarciration. I did not dwell on it. We had snow here so husband has not gone to see him yet. He will try tomorrow. I was to have a family dinner for my daughters and their families and easy child/difficult child, husband and I here on Christmas eve. The storm made the roads treacherous and my eldest daughter' car ended up in a corn field and they had to turn around and go home. They couldn't get up their hill and had to leave the car and walk the last half mile home. In the process they lost one of the gifts. It was one my 13 year old grandson bought for me wth his own money. He was absolutely devastated. Anyway we had a much smaller dinner with much food left over since 4 family members were not here. The good news is that easy child/difficult child has been sober for over a year now and we did have a bottle of wine for husband and I and our other guests which did not bother son at all. It was the first time we had any spirits around him since he got sober. We feel it is best for him to be near it in a protected environment first. We are very proud of him but sent the remaining home with daughter as I do not want to keep any in house just yet. The weather was better on Christmas day so we all (except easy child/difficult child who was sick with a stomach bug) went to my younger daughter's for an somewhat inpromptu family dinner. It was just supposed to be daughter and her family and husband and I. So things got reversed a bit this year. It was lovely and all was well in the end. Just the one little thing. My sweet grandson is perseverating a bit on the lost gift. He is a little obsessive and tends toward depression, so hopefully we can get him to move past that quickly. -RM [/QUOTE]
