[QUOTE="serenityprayer, post: 342570, member: 8421"] Thanks to u all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of you have great ideas :happy: I think I need to hear it from other difficult child mom's who understand! I was raised in a very hostile and controlling environment....I was never allowed to quit anything....even though I was not allowed to do sports, etc. (but I was forced to work full time through all 4 years of high school). So I fight and wrestle with what I know is the right decision...but then I second guess myself since difficult child is bipolar and I want to make sure I make the correct decision!!!!!!!!! :winking: I love how all of you are so honest with me......I really appreciate that. It is hard to discuss this with my husband since his moods are so up and down...I am so thankful I can get help and honest opinions here. difficult child's biggest problem is transitioning......he can not transition from one activity to the next without a very big tantrum. In years past, he would tantrum before karate but then come home and be happy he went. But in the past 6 months.....ever since he has stabilized it seems to be a "I dont want to go ever now" mentality. I think it just might be time for old Mom to come around and let it go. I was hoping he would return to being happy with it...but it seems like this won't change. I agree with you all......I dont think its a huge priority and we have bigger fish to fry :winking:. I agree with the fact that his Aunt Uncle nor grandparents have to deal with his tantrums but they are not a big or even much a part of our lifes anyhow due to difficult child's difficulties. I need to personally let go of needing to make our family look like we are doing wonderful & we are perfect. All part of my own personal codependency recovery!!!!!!!! Hearing it from others is so helpful...........I cant thank u enough!:happy: [/QUOTE]
