[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 48747, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: HereWeGoAgain</div><div class="ubbcode-body">One consolation is that besides wife getting a break, so does easy child daughter -- she needs some mom time away from the front lines (to continue the war analogy), right? </div></div> True, and that was the original plan - for my daughter to spend a few weeks out west with her grandpa. But then that changed, and now wife is going too. I guess that's why I'm flipping between anger (at feeling abandoned) , anxiety (at having to deal with difficult child on my own for three weeks), and relief (for my daughter finally getting a break). I'll get through it, regardless of how well or poorly that time passes. I just hope that difficult child doesn't take advantage of the situation to really act out, and then precipitate a confrontation that the family [b]cannot[/b] recover from. I was prepared to start easing my son toward the possibility of independance at the end of this year - hopefully in a somewhat constructive way. If things blow up over the summer, it may happen a lot sooner, and on very bad terms. I don't want that, yet I can't completely cave in for three weeks just to keep the peace. But I'll figure it out.
