[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 754497, member: 4152"] I have thought about Aspergers plus bipolar. Yes. I do the nod...no reaction thing a fair amount. I’m totally doing it this morning. So far, so good. Thank you for reminding me. It seems like something plus bipolar. I wish things were much better. But, things are a little better and that’s good. I think I’ll use the hotel for Xmas more often. Or perhaps partially. For example...send her to the hotel for the days before Xmas , but bring her to our home Xmas eve and let her sleep here that one night. I am so frustrated. But, bottom line....as what was said...I have to find what works for our family. This is key. It takes thought. Creativity. Strength. She woke up at 6 am yelling. By coincidence, I was already awake. But I’m often not awake. She was yelling because the bottom sheet moved and she was partially sleeping on the mattress cover. I could hear her yelling from across the house. I didn’t say a word. If I said to her “It’s inapproriate and inconsiderate to yell at 6 am when people might be sleeping. Please don’t raise your voice.” I would run the risk of her yelling at me. She is not unintelligent. I raised her properly. We are baffled. She can be VERY inconsiderate with us. And often is with others as well. Just strange, loud, peculiar, moody, opinionated, stubborn, inconsiderate etc. This is helpful! If she is doing decently in the days before...I will partially put her in the hotel for a visit. If she is doing poorly...I will put her in the hotel for the entire visit. If she is doing very poorly...I will cancel her visit. Staying at our house the entire visit may not be one of the options at all. I think I’m working in a viable plan based on what works for us. I can’t explain this (her difficult behaviors and why they are often extreme at Christmas). But I need to save my sanity and health. [/QUOTE]
