Guest guest Posted January 7, 2001 Report Share Posted January 7, 2001 What a wonderful thread that has begun - remembering those " family vacations. " We've had both experiences - where 's OCD seemed more pervasive and crippling while we were away and also where she seemed to be able to take some time off from O's and C's while in another setting. We found that when it was just the 4 of us, things went much smoother as we could keep the mood calm. When we added in other relatives, the pressure of meeting their expectations and trying to appear " normal " did us in. We have a picture from about 3 years ago of the 4 of us on a mountain with the " Hollywood " sign behind us. It sums up our vacation we took about 6 months before was diagnosed. Harold looks relaxed and tan, I'm all smiles, Danny is smirking and is scowling into the camera. Enjoy those " normal " and unique moments.
