[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 543017, member: 11791"] I found it helped when I got to the point that I could predict these things. Not... what the specific trigger, or that it would happen at 2 in the afternoon, but... Some major event where difficult child could "hold it together" was ALWAYS returned with the same size of rebound... 2 days "exceptional" = 2 days "exceptionally hard to take". And then there's the negative anticipation - YOU, who she needs so much, are "going away" without her. How does she know you will actually come back? What kind of PTSD are you triggering, given her background? My difficult child is bio-child to both husband and me... and, for 15 years, we have not been able to EVER go on a trip without the kids. Really... I think we've had two EVENINGS in 15 years. It's a long road. You're fortunate to have supportive family... What can be done to help your difficult child deal with the post-stress and the pre-stress? [/QUOTE]
