H4L and Kalni, thanks for those...I've been ploughing through the MLC stuff and already came across them. I haven't read all the HeartsBlessing stuff -- it's useful but her personal sitch was pretty different (no separation for example, which IMO is a huge step for someone to take while in depression/crisis).

H4L, as I posted above, I find organizing camping trips with other families tricky. People are busy, and often change plans at the last minute. My S has social issues, so there is only one family that realistically he'd be excited about going camping with...and they are unlikely to be available. Sometimes having other children around can be more work for me: overstimulation issues/conflict, for example.
