Please help me from feeling so angry this weekend

I'm going to visit my parents who I am LC with and wider family, with my family. I don't particularly want to go, they really stress me out, but I promised I would visit this time because it's a special occasion and we missed Christmas with them.

My SEN son's EHCP draft has just been issued and it's not up to scratch. I need to work on it this weekend as there isn't another block of time where I can.

My DH is a loving dad and onboard with everything but he has not been engaged in this EHCP process. He spends his free time gaming when he should be reading the draft. He promised me before that he would try to be more engaged in the process but he's still fing gaming. I feel like all worries, thought and decisions are down to me with no backup if I make a mistake. I already fed up once which set us back with the draft. He promised we would go through it together this weekend, line by line.

My DS has been really difficult these last few weeks, more so than usual. I snapped at him last night and this morning when he was being his usual difficult self.

Please tell me how I can get through this weekend. I am already in an angry, snappy mood and I don't want to ruin it for everyone else.

Can't you just speak to him directly; "you promised you would engage and we would go through this report line by line. Can you stop gaming so we can do that. Thanks."

It doesn't happen often but when it does, I tell the OH that it disappoints me that I can't rely on him.

Not trying to guilt trip him on purpose, I genuinely need his support to help keep my disability under control. It usually works, at least until his ADHD and anxiety make him forget until next time.
