[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 614846, member: 17269"] Helpangel, the hour to yourself sounds like a really good idea. In the past sometimes I have taken that in the form of exercise or meditation. Lately I have somehow not fit it in...but still, walking the dogs or folding laundry can also be an hour of reflection. I do like the idea of time to just be with yourself, and reflect onyourself...seems like it would help focus the idea that life is not now and has never been ALL about the difficult child. And as far as pity parties...I don't talk to friends or family (or acquaitnaces ) about this at all...I don't like the odd focus of pity and superiority or judgement, even the most loving of my friends, has. My two maids of honor both have kids about my difficult child's age...one has both her kids at the univeristy of pennsylvania, and the other has both her kids at Georgetown. difficult child did manage to get a GED, thank god. I just don't want to talk about it. But this forum has been a wonderful place of sharing and support. Thanks for both of those things. [/QUOTE]
