How do your loved ones who struggle with SZ
do at the Holidays;
Halloween, Thanksgiving, all the Yule/ Winter Holidays?
Withdraw, participate , indifferent?
Look forward to your replies.
My son likes it if we go visit his okder brother and sister…he only participa t es for a bit…
I find that planning a Thanksgiving visit and meal becomes stressful for my 50-year-old son who is living in a group home.
He says I do weird things with my eyes or I say things that make him uncomfortable.
He doesn’t want a one-on-one visit and does only OK with virtual video calls. If I talk too fast he gets upset.
🍁🍁🍁
After 30 years of trial and error on every level, (social, emotional, criminal, legal) ,
he is doing more normal things like cooking for himself, riding a bike outdoors regularly or filling a bird feeder regularly.
He often says house staff or grocery clerks are cruel to him.
He still has psychotic episodes, but much milder and less frequently.
And I know how to handle this unbalanced time better.
He just wants to steer through the terror he is experiencing and be heard.
I appreciate the support and insight on this SZ Family site.
Greetings from Vermont
