Thanks @Former-Member.
Was "all quiet" for a while, but got a phonecall last night at bedtime. She had a strong urge to SH, was trying to fight it. Had been on the phone to a helpline, talked with me for a while then said she'd try ringing them again. Another call an hour later. It got too much for her, and she was waiting on an ambulance. Hubby had taken his nighttime "no driving" medication, so we assume from the fact that we didn't get a 6am pickup call that she found someone to drive her home. Guessing she'll still be asleep now, so will try to catch up with her this afternoon.
We keep hoping she'll succeed in fighting off the urge, at least some of the time. If she could prove to herself that it's possible, maybe it would happen more often...
Annnnd we're off to my parents' place again tomorrow. This one's planned to fit with my sister's holidays so there's not really any room to change the travel dates. Generally after the SH has happened the urge drops right off, so she should be OK. There's always that nagging "but what if..." but somehow the rest of life has to keep happening.
This trip is self, Hubby and sister. Younger Daughter is staying with an adult friend for a week. She'll probably enjoy that. She's been stressed out about some subjects at school that she wasn't doing well in and has to do "redemption" tasks for (i.e. if she completes those satisfactorily, she passes instead of failing). Her teachers are generally pretty supportive, and know enough of what's going on in the background, so they're willing to make reasonable adjustments within the assessment criteria. And the friend she's staying with is a school librarian, so she would be willing and able to appropriately help out if needed.
