I actually stay in a hotel rather than with family during the holidays. The in-laws think I'm weird & may be offended (they have plenty of room for everyone to stay there & my husband & kids stay there!), but I can't deal with so many people for long stretches of time. Stress is a really bad trigger for me & this way I can escape. I go in the morning about 11:00 & leave after dinner. We are traveling to Calif. so we will be there 5 days. I need my space & my husband is supportive after seeing me freak out at other family functions that were just too much for me.--Suzy
