[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 562553"] This is how WE came to handle the holidays. You are right, it IS difficult and there are no right or wrong answers. by the way, I came here to post something similar... so don't be surprised if/when you see it. We are doing something [I]separate amd small [/I]for our difficult child for Thansgiving about a week ahead of time. A small dinner...mostly food that I'll pick up from the local grocer...pre cooked. I think I'm making one item. She has been difficult for us and for the family recently. For Christmas....it is up in the air. She is ok for the Thanksgiving situation. Often we base our decisions on her recent behavior (s). If he (your son) refuses to take the medications he is suppose to take or has been acting inappropriately recently, that might make the decision for you. You might consider a separate little dinner without the rest of the family should he chose not to be cooperative and/or appropriate. If he is VERY/big time inappropriate...forget it altogether. If he makes no effort to cooperate, so be it. He's lucky to get any acknowledgement of the holiday...but why should you ruin your special day and the day for others too????? Just a thought for consideration. [/QUOTE]
