[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 615840, member: 17269"] Yikes, color me scared too!!!! How awful. I honor your methodical approach to telling the story, that dark strike out of nowhere (seemingly) the scrambling and chaos and fallout, the attempst at creating some sort of structure, the cobbled together solutions/reactions. So familiar, so shared. So messy. My difficult child is still in jail. No one seems to miss him, although it is the first time he has missed Christmas. I cried yestarday after he called, in part because I can't seem to stop being angry at him, and therefore a little mean to him. MY SO and I had our first joint Christmas...my daughter was ecstatic, one teenage boy pleasantly neutral, one grumpy and complaining about "people we don't even know, Christmas is for family(this in reference to my SO's mom, 2 sisters, and daugher). Like you, invitations, obligations, family, friends, and in the middle some one who feels like they need constant supervision and yet that can't be done and won't happen. We did have laughs and light moments too. The kids said their stockings (which were simple) were the best ever. So we can create those memories in the midst of loss and grief and tears and chaos. Blessings on us all (in the most secular manner!) [/QUOTE]
