[QUOTE="Fran, post: 140207, member: 3"] Pamela, we had another member whose son had severe anxiety. Unfortunately that difficult child had a brother and a sister who deserved a life. The parents co parented. If they went out they took 2 cars. One would take difficult child home if his anxiety prevented the other 2 from enjoying a show. One would sit in the car if a restaurant was too much for difficult child. Once one was done with a meal the other switched. On vacation, one parent stayed with difficult child in the room if difficult child couldn't handle the event. They switched every 4 hrs or every other day. The easy child's adjusted. It was better than nothing. I suspect that in order to be a parent and grandparent to the rest of the family you and husband will have to take him to daughter for the short span of time he can handle then one go to the hotel with difficult child. I do not believe that difficult child regardless of the disability gets to swallow the whole family and ruin every other healthy relationship within it. You make accomodations for his disability and you continue to have a full life with daughter and grand children. His emotional immaturity is a given but you can not be a victim to his disability.
