[QUOTE="DDD, post: 99679, member: 35"] Just want you to know I have read your post. I have not had any similar experiences so I can't spout off on a been there done that. [img]:whew:[/img] I would assume that your husband, therapist and child would be the most valuable resources as you contemplate the event. In general I think that most of "events" or "happenings" is found in the preconceived expectations. If one is anticipating bad vibes or actions...chances are it will be a self-profilling prophecy. A number of times I have been over enthusiastic and totally convinced that a get together was going to be totally awesome etc. and I have been disappointed. My expectations were too high. Resting in the middle are where most of us function. No high expecations. No anticipation of horror. When I am going somewhere I prethink who is apt to be there, who I might want to avoid, etc. I always have an excuse ready so I don't feel trapped anywhere. That keeps me comfortable and I would hope that making sure YOU have the control will make your decision comfortable too. DDD [/QUOTE]
