In reply to Plans for getting through the holidays?, posted by Rainwoman on November 1, 2000, at 8:18:08
I think, given how stressed I am, I will just let the holidays happen as usual with the family (verbal digs, keeping secrets, telling secrets, psychotic breaks, planned escapes, etc.).
If I had an invite and the $$ to go out of town I would. But, part of my role is intervening for the kids, so I hate to give that up sort of. Even though the kids are all in their 20's now.
Usually there is at least one big dramatic moment. Maybe I'll set up a time out room where people can go and be left alone.
And, take my sleep meds at 7:30 pm.
