No the kids will not let us stay with them , they have 3 dogs and since we have to bring ours they said No when we asked once. They do not like our dogs but I think that’s partially an excuse they use? I don’t know , I do know they suck !

My daughter lives in Tampa now, she has a roommate but would certainly let us stay but her roommate is extremely allergic to dogs. And boarding them is 20 dollars a day for each dog..

I have my Xanax , I have a huge tool box of coping skills. But eventually they start to fail and then I’m crumbling, last Christmas trip it took me almost a month to get myself back to my baseline.

I need to get him to understand I can do 2 weeks but no more.

Like I said this 3-4 week crap only started last year, when our friends moved to North Florida.

I know that we will be able to work this out , but I know things will be tense as I’m sure this won’t be a one time conversation.
