[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 367750, member: 6370"] I'm still trying to figure this out. I have three children through adoption. I do also think that our society has been overstressing the importance of the children over their parents. I question a lot of what I do, wondering if it's abuse. When my sons were toddlers, I was kissing up the spine of difficult child 1 who was laughing and having a great time and suddenly, frighteningly, I wondered if the happiness I felt was a form of sexual abuse. I don't think that fear would have come into the heart of my grandmother. She would have found it completely normal to claim her "blood" this way. This makes me so sad and so confused. [/QUOTE]
