The bad - difficult child came within a hair's breadth of having a meltdown during the "extended family" and close family friends Christmas dinner. The ugly - difficult child's (and my) folks made some statements hinting at their current and future life plans indicating: 1) too high of a financial burn rate to ensure well funded special needs trust, 2) stubbornly being dug in to staying in California no matter what (actually probably too late now to contemplate downsize / relo), 3) probably no plan to set up difficult child's housing arrangement prior to their passing, 4) still giving difficult child perq's and extras well beyond basic needs to "make him feel better," 5) giving few if any basic life skills (some things very basic - manners, how to hold a fork and knife, communication skills, human nature, etc).
