[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 34426, member: 3353"] Well, I know everyone is going to say I am over-reacting and difficult child is so old and I should just get over myself for once. [img]:blush:[/img] But here is the thing. Even when we don't have a terrible thing happen with a difficult child on a holiday, we do. We miss them, we wonder where and how they are, we see other parents who do know where their children are and how they are and that they loved them enough to pick up a phone and do something other than lie. And all those little things that don't happen for us anymore make our holidays sad ~ very much sadder than the holidays of those whose children are doing well. And I know everyone will say I am borrowing trouble here, but I think it is important for us to recognize where the unsettling feelings are coming from, on the holidays. Because do you know what I did yesterday before dinner? Ate a pound package of peanut M&Ms, that's what! Eeewwhh.... Barbara [/QUOTE]
