Vivienne,
This journey is definitely not for the faint of heart! You are not alone.
Hi Susan!
Thanks for stopping by. We have an annual Grinch Reading at Christmas and a crab feast at the beach in the summer. Our older kids who are working can’t always make it, but they’re like the only 2 traditions that I’m emotionally attached to. Fortunately for them, there’s great food and fun at both, so I don’t get any pushback. I also try to be flexible during the events too. Like I don’t expect extensive small talk and interaction from my kids with social anxiety.
Does that make sense?
