[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 705103, member: 4152"] Jodie...I like what you did with the cards and small gifts. No doubt having to take care of an older relative is straining. How wonderful that your daughter was appreciative of your card and gift. We always have difficulty with our Difficult Child child on xmas. I do not know if some of this is due to her being adopted. I think perhaps in some small way. I think most of it is from her bipolar illness with some adoption issues mixed in. She was particularly miserable this xmas. I might post about it. She is almost thirty. Extreme negativity and often just downright mean. I'm trying to recuperate. I was fortunate in that our bio son and his family were particularly lovely....upbeat, kind, appreciative, etc. Like living in two worlds. Jodie...Hope you find time today to relax and enjoy. I often truly enjoy this week before New years...a peaceful time of reflection. [/QUOTE]
