[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 569286, member: 3305"] Absolutely ditto Nancy. I know how personally I took my difficult child's behaviors and consequences for so long. At first I was downright hostile angry...and then came the depression. My life was depleated. I could find no joy...and I felt very sorry for myself. by the way, I am NOT saying that this is where you are at RM...Only relaying what happend to me. I think the thing that helps me most to not feel "victimised" by this life...or difficult child behaviors/conseqences is to find things to be grateful for...every small to big thing. Helps me realise that I have been given a great deal and like others have reminded me of recently...I'm not in charge of God's timing. His relationship with my children has nothing to do with me at this point. I gave them all I had that was good...Just as you have. RM...It's hard to remember for me anyway, that I am responsible for my OWN happiness. It doesn't depend on my husband, or my children. I am glad you are finding ways to make the most out of this Christmas season...concentrating on our little ones/the grandbabies is so SO very rewarding. I am sure yours adore you just like mine. I am keeping you close to my heart RM. You are a strong lady and a survivor. We go on because we have freedom and the gift of life within our grasp. We wish it and pray so hard for it for our children...but they have to reach out on their own and discover what life has in store for them to learn, independent of us. with caring thoughts for you, love, LMS [/QUOTE]
