[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 321601, member: 179"] Oh, Toto...that stinks. I know that years ago when things were at the height of chaos in our house, the holidays were very stressful. H and I made a decision that we would not do the traditional holiday gift giving. We couldn't afford it, were moving to another state...the stress was just too much. So, we informed our kids that we were not doing the gift thing that year. You should have seen the look of astonishment on their faces. Instead, we volunteered at the local homeless shelter. Double the astonishment look. In the end, it was so rewarding for them. They loved chatting with the guests and providing something much more important than the years most important toy. We have and still continue this tradition. I look around at the frantic people trying to get all these gifts when the most important gift is to help one another. I'm sure you'll find a great place to live. The market couldn't be better right now. Hugs to K. It has to be kind of scary to know that you have a disorder that you can't control. At least she is verbalizing this to you. You are a safe place for her. Abbey [/QUOTE]
