[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 363711, member: 1514"] JJJ, I think it is much harder to watch the milestones go buy when both the children and the parents know there is a difference. Much harder. In some corner of my mind I always knew I was different and was missing out on so many so called normal things. I acted out to make it appear like I couldnt have cared less but deep inside I was a mess. I dont know if my parents were upset or not. I tend to think it actually made my mom happy that I wasnt a good kid, that I was a stupid child and didnt do things right. I think she fed off that and it proved her theory of me. I think I probably broke my Dad's heart on many ocassions but he just was too tired by then to even say anything. Now I look back and I am so upset that I didnt do the things I was supposed to do. I didnt go to any dances, I didnt graduate, I didnt go to college on time, I didnt get married the right way so I could have my dad walk me down the isle. All that just goes through my head over and over. It really bothered me when my dad walked my step-sister down the isle. Sigh. I felt so left out. [/QUOTE]
