[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 571662, member: 3388"] Buddy, The "season of life" thing hit me really, really hard. My difficult children's birthdays were always difficult days for me. While I wore a smile while celebrating, once alone, it was me and a box of tissues... Even now, difficult child 2's birthdays make me sad. Holidays make me sad too. At 20 years old, he doesn't have any friends, considers his support staff "friends." When he should be out celebrating, he prefers the company of his monkey puppet. I had a heart to heart talk with a very close friend before Christmas. She told me that difficult child 2 is happy and while his life isn't what I envisioned it would be, I need to accept that he is doing what he wants, that he is happy. While I know she is right, it still hurts... Many hugs... SFR [/QUOTE]
