Maybe this just comes with the territory of having a difficult child, but I'm feeling anxious and uneasy about Thanksgiving. There's a big age difference between me and my two sisters ... they have grandchildren around my difficult child's age. They each have their own families over for the holidays and difficult child and I go to both celebrations. I have a close family and we always have a wonderful time.
So, what's the problem? Good question.
Mabye it's my gut, maybe I'm paranoid ... mabye if I just get it off my chest in this safe place, it'll go away.
She moved in with her doofus boyfriend at the beginning of the month. He is going to his parent's house for Tday - and she didn't really elaborate as to whether she was invited and declined or whether she wasn't invited, but she says she is coming with me.
I'm sure her dad is going to be with his girlfriend's family and, though she usually also tries to incorporate that into her visits, she's not going this year.
For the last couple of family gatherings, she's stuck pretty close to me ...doesn't interact with her cousins (which I don't get), but otherwise is pleasant and well-mannered. I have no real reason for this bad feeling ...it's just there.
I am glad she is coming with me. I am glad doofus is going to be elsewhere. Really, I am.
And I know so many of you are dealing with so much more than this. Still, can anyone relate?
UGH!
