[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so sad. My exDH and his sister were similar, although their health issues escalated closer to midlife. Vacations were high-stress triggers for both of them. exSIL would frequently unilaterally cancel family vacations or disappear during them from the time she was in HS. exDh would disappear on our family vacations on “walks” or sort of go on strike during them and park himself somewhere that wasn’t our destination for the day or he would just retreat to the hotel. The latter was always the best case scenario.

It think it is a way of trying to cope with 
the level of flexibility required to participate in a family vacation, and how that collides with neurodivergence and mental health issues and actual capacity for that coping.

I feel terribly for this family because it’s an impossible dynamic to explain to outsiders. During our divorce it was difficult to get anyone to understand the safety issues this behavior posed for our kids, and even more difficult to get things in place legally to prevent them from being involved in one of these escalations  [/quote]

Thank you for this post. You just gave voice to something that has been  present for a long time with my exH and it’s getting unbearable now that he’s in his 50s.

I had never made the connection and a light bulb went off when I read your post[/quote]
