[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To restate the question: I have a child who is struggling and has been for a long time. I understandably am tired or dealing with the challenges of this difficult child when my other children are easier. Can I exclude the difficult child who has been struggling in life for a long time from our family vacation and still be a good mom?[/quote]

I think you sit them down, and tell them:

1. You will always love them.
2. That after years of trying hard to manage their behavior, everyone is tired of them, and would rather vacation without them at this time.
3. That you still love them and want to support them, and are therefore ready to pay for a neuropyschological evaluation, in order to see if there is a diagnosable disorder that can be treated. It can be 3-6K, depending on where they live and what tests are included. 
4. And that you will pay for all treatments that work, such as meds or targeted therapy (not general therapy without a diagnosis), if they comply with the prescribed regimen.
5. That all the family loves them and is happy to include them again in the future, if they improve their behavior.
