[quote=Anonymous]Sorry for all whose families criticize and blame. My kids are older now but we went through really tough periods. There are relatives I still don’t talk to. I learned to act like they just don’t exist even if they are right beside me. It has made my life better. I don’t know if it was as bad for me as others - again my kids are adults. But I was fatigued just remembering the “arms length” rule - one of mine had to be within arms length for years. We spent some time remembering some of the events. Like the time he dove off the kitchen counter and had to go to the hospital. For us Thanksgiving has not always been easy but this year was really great. One of my kids who spent years being hospitalized over thanksgiving or otherwise unable to attend was there, engaged, having fun. It’s been a long time since we had a glimpse of a positive and maybe independent future but I got that yesterday. [/quote]
