[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 524370, member: 13542"] Hi TL, I hope you and your easy child have a wonderful time, it's an exciting fun experience and I sincerely hope you REALLY enjoy every moment. I was thinking about something I think Nancy (or was it Kathy?) said about putting the negative thoughts in to a box, compartmentalizing. In my group the other night, the therapist spoke about teaching us to compartmentalize in a healthy way by imagining a box and placing what we cannot control or don't want to give any real thought to right now, into this box. She suggested we have an actual box and write down what we want to put aside and place it in the box. Perhaps before you leave, you can place difficult child worries in the box, just for the time spent away, so you and easy child can be free of the worry. And, when you return, you can certainly open the box and retrieve whatever you're wanting from it. "Good time vibes" are coming your way in spades. ENJOY!! [/QUOTE]
