[QUOTE="Skylark Matrix, post: 88325, member: 3919"] When I was reading your post I was thinking "this child must be ODD and sure enough at the end there it is. One thing about odd is that they will naturally do the opposite, it comes just as easy as doing right for the rest of us. Mine has missed Christmas and birthdays and holidays too since she has "grown up". It is not easy for the MOM. I don't have any advice - other that what the others have given you. Make plans to enjoy the holidays on your own, through friends, church, other relatives, etc. Don't elaborate to difficult child how much this hurts you, instead, tell her about what a good time you had, mention things that you know she likes and has missed, but mention this in a fun positive way for your enjoyment. Mine had to miss thanksgiving this year for the 3 yr in a row, and guess what, because she absolutely could not get a way to come home she is remorseful and I expect she will be home for Christmas and be quite appreciative for a change. Partly because she is maturing a little bit and mostly because she is realizing it is not bothering anyone except herself. These type of children area a permanent heartache, and even though the saying is that it makes us stronger, most of us would be quite happy being a little less strong! [/QUOTE]
