Thanks Brittany, I will go home, it will just be harder. Its awful to see the way he carries on, but I love spending time with the rest of my family and am not going to let him spoil it.
Hugs gratefully accepted! Like I said to Heather, Padhraig and I are not spending Christmas together, he will be 6 hours drive away but I will see him on 24th and again on 27th so I will survuve.
I am going to concentrate on looking forward to our Paris trip in January!
