[QUOTE="Gone, post: 640434"] I don't even know if I want my GS ''home for Christmas'' now , was ( am? ) looking forward to having him with us but because it feels ''too soon'' there is a high level of concern for the STRESS of it all.. A happy merry Christmas does not involve someone at such a TENTATIVE EARLY stage of their recovery being given sole responsibility of their child again! And who suffers the ''brunt'' of it all??? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still AM as I am the one living IN REALITY , my difficult child ISN'T , so she is more optimistic and cheerful about everything but has an unrealistic picture about how things will be , she just wants to ''enjoy herself with her son'' BUT even THAT puts him at risk of DISTRESS as the places she takes him are FRAUGHT with disruption , chaos and stress so will calmly ask if little man can just 'stay home' with me while she goes and has fun with her mates etc without the responsibility of little man , if not I will have to come with her to ensure he is not subjected to any distress , we have to remember it is a [B]little boy with special needs here WHO GETS DISTRESSED EASILY through no fault of his own , he hates noise and chaos[/B] and needs calm and peace so will take him out to the park and play football with him if it gets too stressful for him and to be honest I HATE chaos too!!!
