[QUOTE="DDD, post: 549351, member: 35"] I totally and completely understand your post. My situation has not been the same as yours but I have had to learn to be an ostrich as part of my survival detachment. It is SO not what I anticipated. For the children (and subsequently for the grandsons) my home was a functioning basically happy house with lots of laughter, loving groans and very rarely slightly elevated voices. Everyone (lots of different personalities, of course) not only expressed their love vocally but frequently with spontaneous hugs. On the rare (very rare, sigh) occasions when a number of them are home I lay in bed grinning and stiflying laughter as I overhear them visiting together after I've hit the hay....it's a blast from the happy past. I hope you have decades of "happy normal" in your family future. In my heart I truly know what you are feeling. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
