[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 723262, member: 1967"] SRTL, if you are concerned about your child stealing from other family members or becoming abusive, then your son hasn't earned the right to be in your home . . . holiday or not. I like RN's suggestion of a small family celebration in a restaurant with your son. In the cases where the loved one is in recovery and working on staying sober, I think the rest of the family needs to be accommodating and give up alcohol. I like the comparison in the article about making food accommodations in the case of a food allergy. My daughter now has 20 months of sobriety and she tells us it is okay if we have a drink in front of her. However, the rest of us don't drink when we are with her because it doesn't seem right to rub it in her nose so to speak. Holiday's have always been hard for those of us with troubled loved ones. Unfortunately, they seem to ramp up the crazy during the holidays. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
