[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 509973, member: 3388"] difficult child 1 had the biggest "meltdown" imaginable (I'm being polite) when we told him he was going to go to an overnight camp. I had to pack all of his things for him, totally get him ready to go. I didn't sleep much the night before husband and I drove him to camp for fear that he was going to explode and make driving him there impossible. Much to my surprise, he was quiet during the ride and when we got there, he went right over to his counselor, barely saying goodbye to us. By the end of the first week, he even admitted camp was "OK." I totally understand that "nervous breakdown" sort of feeling!! Keeping my fingers crossed your difficult child is so worn out from enjoying the activities you've picked for him, that when he is home, he isn't in full "difficult child" mode. Thinking of you... Hugs... SFR P.S. Are the weeks spread out or is your difficult child attending one activity right after the other? If at all possible, in my humble opinion, it might be best to spread out the activities. This might make it easier for you knowing that if you survive one week, the next you'll have a break...
