[quote=Anonymous][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]

No, you can't exclude a struggling child unless the circumstances are extreme (like they are physically violent or doing meth on family trips).  My parents get everyone a separate hotel room.  It's a nice way to be together, but keep a distance.  This makes dealing with each other much easier than staying in one big house.

NP. I don't think you understand the issue. You can't allow abusers to hurt those that you love, including when it's your own child hurting yourself and your other children. My sibling is not physically violent, but she does go into screaming rages around everyone, says incredibly hurtful things, misses flights on purpose and won't show up for tours that we paid for. Also maliciously orders up the dinner bill and never once offers to pay. "Way to be together"- no. My sibling doesn't even come out of said hotel room. [/quote]
