[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 70006, member: 1953"] Hi, I saw the title to your post the other day and wanted to reply to you. When my difficult child was younger, he was a real handful. He wasn't an easy kid like many other children I knew. It was exhausting and stressful.Every school year I heard from the teachers, this was all the way through. It made me question my parenting skills over and over. So many times I would have thoughts that weren't pleasant about my difficult child. I didn't always have a fun time raising him, although I loved him and we were always deeply bonded,(which made me feel guiltier) How could I be so fed-up with my own child? Especially, when you hear Moms say they miss their kids when they go to school or whatever comments makes you question your own maternal love. When Alex died, I instantly knew how much I loved him and always did. All difficult child'ness traits were forgiven and I just mourned my son.I felt blessed that [b]I[/b] had a chance to be his mom, and I rejoiced in every day we spent together. Even the hard younger days, and the painful drug abuse teenager days. My point is, you really love him, and you don't even mind being his mom. It is just hard to see that when everyday is filled with stress. Go easy on yourself and try to keep a sense of humor. Laughter is the best medicine. (((((HUGS)))))) [/QUOTE]
