My life partner has Bipolar ii

I think I find relaxing on holiday difficult as I know Mr Darcy is stressed when we are away @Shaz51 . Something for me to work on.

I think I find relaxing on holiday difficult as I know Mr Darcy is stressed when we are away, same here @Former-Member , I find it very hard xx

I agree @Former-Member ... I don't relax as darling stresses too much. I don't think we have had a single holiday without a meltdown, including our honeymoon.

I think our holidays have been of benefit though as darling and our boys have all these wonderful memories of great times without remembering the trauma that went with it.

I don't relax as darling stresses too much., same here @Determined

sometimes I think it would be better to stay home @Former-Member

but that is not right to do either is it

Family is so important and I think it is quite possible that both you and Mr Shaz would rue not going @Shaz51 . Mr Darcy's real life twin does not make the effort to see his 3 interstate adult children and they feel abandoned by him.

Yes holidays with kids are where memories are made @Determined

that is one thing about mr shaz , he does make the effort to see his 4 adult childrenwith me encouraging him every step of the way @Former-Member , @Determined

It is so lovely he does that and that you encourage him @Shaz51

Hi @Former-Member are you going away for Easter or entertaining family ? We have my sister in law and her husband and two kids circa 10yrs old staying with us for a week - I love that family and yes it will be a bit crowded and overwhelming at times but better than travelling for Ms S so looking forward to it kind of

Trust you have an enjoyable time with the visitors and that both 2 legged and 4 legged family members will enjoy their stay @Sophie1 .

Will probably try and get a bit more tidying up done around home.
