[QUOTE="EB67, post: 58323, member: 3750"] Amber, I wholly understand and empathize with your feelings right now. I imagine that many of us have a similar story here on this level (having endured abuse in the past). The other day when Seb was being particularly horrid to me I remembered the billion and one stitches I needed "from stem to sterm" after he was born and the injustice of it all seemed glaring. I thought: "My nonnie is still a war zone almost 8 years later thanks to you and you dare to treat me with this lack of respect?". Sigh. But this is about you. I mention this in a light hearted way to suggest that there is never any justice in being on the receiving end of bad treatment given our sacrifices and given our painful past histories which make our children's antics that much more harmful to us. You have devoted yourself to your son-- you take can pride in your work as a mother, take pride in your fierce dedication-- you have done your job well. It is only natural that patience runs thin from time to time. If only there were a way to make the fantasy of "me time" a reality. I'm still jogging the possibilities myself... Hugs. many many hugs. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
