We don't know what to do for our anniversary as bs does know how she will react. Last year right after dinner day we went away for a night. We don't know if we should do presents, go away, do nothing or just drop the kids off at my parents, have dinner a movie, sleep in the next day. Not sure what is right after dinner day.

I would suggest keeping it simple and sincere. Avoid anything that might be a potential trigger.

I second the sincere part. Do something y'all both find peace in.
Is there a way to plan something new that has no history or triggers for either of you? I'm thinking like a day trip to the beach or zip lining or a day of museum outings? What about y'all get some paper and attempt to draw each other or maybe plan a scavenger hunt with silly clues that eventually lead to a cute little present?

Keep it as light as possible and go with the flow of your BS. Don't watch any movies that could bring up any triggers, stick to something you have already watched and both enjoyed free of A related plots or subplots. Try to do something she feels comfortable with and let her guide you through the day.

I purposed to make plans that would create great memories with my wife right from the beginning.
I order flowers, usually roses and have them arranged nicely from the florist.
I make reservations at a nice restaurant and make plans to stay for desert.
The desert time is my favorite. I order one item and we share.... Here's the catch, you can only have a bite when the other one gives you a bite. It makes for smiles and laughs.
I also like to find a nice place to go for a walk, where we can relax and hold hands, usually a park or a mall if the weather is bad.
I went online and ordered some beautiful rocks that are engraved with sayings on them, that speak just to her.
you can find them here - www.stonedecorative.com
My goal is always to help my wife re-claim what is HERS. Our marriage and our celebration of that belongs to HER alone and cannot be owned by anyone else.
I have purposed to let her know how special she is by doing special things that creat NEW and WONDERFUL memories.
Wishing you well....

I wrote my BH a letter and gave it to him a few days before our anniversary. I also tried to stick to making new memories, low key, and away from crowds or potential triggers. I didn't want my BH to feel pressured to act happy if he didn't feel like it. The focus was on him and what he might feel comfortable with.
