family holidays

mildredpierce

Hi i am sitting here in tears writing this,my 11 yr old daughter was diagnosed 2 years a go with aspergers and minor learning difficulties.We have never been on a family holiday so i thought we would just go in a caravan for a few days to ease her in ,we have paid for it ,then tonight as i tucked her up in bed she said 'Mum don't be mad at me but i don't want to go away,' i have a younger daughter who misses out on so much cos we change our plans to fit around My older daughter,i feel awful,my husband said he will stay with my daughter at home while i take my younger daughter away with her cousins,i really don't think i can leave my older dauhter,its tearing me apart.

  • I know my Husband can look after my daughter and i  by no means disrespect my Husband and as for the approach ,i know how my Daughter works she just does not like sleeping out ...end off..I sit and fully explain every thing what we plan to her,we never surprise her as we know she can not handle it,She has so many fears Dogs,people in costume ,thats just 2 of them...i feel your reply puts me down as a Mother,especially at a time when i felt so low and needed some one to talk to my life revolves around my Daughters needs and i would not have it any other way .My tears were not self pity at all.I said to my Daughter that it is fine for her not to go and it makes no difference,as long as she is happy thats fine with me,by no means was i forcing her to go i would never force my Daughter to do any thing she did not want to do.And you have it totally wrong i never for once thought it was all about me,how dare you say that i live for my family.I will not be posting on here again ,thanks for nothing.
