[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't your DH just stay in your room while the rest of the family does Christmas? I agree, this is unfair to the rest of the family, and your argument about no space makes no sense when you say you've done this in the past.[/quote]

OP I’m really sorry for your husband and your family. This is so tough for everyone because of the pandemic, which I’m sure to you and your husband pales in comparison with your husband’s illness. Honestly I think if it were me, I’d stay and try to figure out what my spouse could handle and include him in parts of the celebration. I’d bow out of all chores and divide my time between my spouse and the rest of the family when he needs breaks.

Your other choice is a hotel but honestly that won’t make anyone happy. Your family isn’t going to have a great time knowing that the cousins are together and they’re stuck in a room with Door Dash. Between this and the bad will your doing this would cause, I’d really try to make a plan that allows you to stay without jeopardizing your husbands health.

Not the same thing but a couple of years ago I was kind of in your shoes when one of my kids developed serious and life threatening mental health issues right before Thanksgiving. They were unable to function or leave the house without great trauma and everything caused decomponsation. So I get the fear and the struggle. I’m sorry and I hope you and your family find peace during this holiday season. [/quote]
