[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 112961, member: 3704"] DDD, I'm with you, oh how I miss spontaneous! I also miss my former busy social life. Our lives have narrowed and narrowed, since difficult child's accident and his inability to tolerate change and social situations has increased. Sometimes we go out for brief periods. We always offer him the option, but he usually chooses to stay home alone. I know we are doing the right thing, though, when I see the difference in him now that we don't demand he do the things that cause him such anxiety and meltdowns. My husband lost his mom two years ago, and his siblings are spread from one coast to the other, both north and south. We haven't all gotten together in one place since her death. Due to difficult child's needs and my need to take care of my elderly mom - we decided to rent a house near my Mom's retirement community for holiday celebrations.Fortunately she lives in a resort area with good airport access (husband's brother is a hobby pilot and likes to fly everywhere). Next Thanksgiving will be our "trial run". We've decided to do this every year - and those who can come , will come. We know that it is going to take this to create more togetherness - and it meets the needs of difficult child and my Mom. husband came up with the idea - I think he is inspired! [/QUOTE]
