[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 413792, member: 1514"] Nancy, I think one of the things that happens to us with our kids is something akin to survivors guilt. Especially right now with what is going on in Japan, in the deepest parts of our souls we kind of wonder, well...my kid is so horrible or such a complete waste of space, how come something really bad doesnt happen to them instead of some innocent baby in that disaster? Wouldnt that make my life at least a little easier to bear and then that dead baby would have had a chance? I mean we really dont want to think that and we feel guilty for thinking that but there it is. I had similar feelings when 9/11 happened. All those heroic stories coming out and Cory was being a complete and utter jerk. Huh? At that point I was ready to have me and him trade places with two of the guys who went down in that PA field if I could have done it. [/QUOTE]
