[QUOTE="Wonderful Family, post: 329280"] Been dealing with the same here - difficult child just can't handle Christmas, never has; Sat and Sunday were much nicer than the actual holidays. In some ways, it's a relief that we live out of town and don't have to visit with a ton of family - just Grandma and Grandpa that live with us. difficult child was up for 3 nights running prior to Christmas and he had his first major rage with physical assault in well over 1.5 years. I'll take difficult child to visit family out of town in a few weeks; AFTER Christmas. easy child and I get a bit of a break tonight. We're at our small cabin in the woods, easy child is out of Concerta and easy child and difficult child cannot co-exist in the same place without easy child on his medications. easy child just gets hurt because he is so impulsive with difficult child without it. husband took difficult child home with him. medications for easy child due in tomorrow, I hope. Hope things get better for you; we know from experience that difficult child is likely to be much better after Christmas than before. I always try to take off the week after since that is when we tend to have fun here - week before is miserable; I'd rather be at work. by the way - even with the rage and everything else, difficult child announced this the best Christmas ever, go figure . . .
