[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 520474, member: 2196"] JJJ, please do not feel bad. In my opinion you are a SAINT. Your children came from a broken home, and you knew they had issues and you STILL chose to take them into your home. You do not deserve pain. You deserve praise for what you are doing. Now me, on the other hand, has two biological kids and one has bipolar disorder. I am also bipolar. She got that from me since it is apparently genetic. Sometimes I feel guilty as hell because I am the one who passed it down to her. Logically I know that it was fate and there's not much I could have done, but I still feel like it's all my fault for having bipolar and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). difficult child 1 is miserable and I feel responsible. I have been hospitalized myself for having major anxiety and PTSD after I got in a car accidend last January. Before I got in the accident, my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) was in overdrive and I was very unstable. My anti-depressants were no longer working. My doctor prescribed Klonopin and I absolutely did NOT want to take it. Finally my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) got so bad that I started taking them. I started out on the weekend to see how it made me feel. I felt absolutely fine. I did laundry, cleaned the house, and took care of my kids. I did not know it would affect me badly. P-doctor told me it was safe to take before work and I believed him. So I dropped of difficult child and drove to work and suddenly blacked out. Got in a bad accident, didn't hit anybody, thank heaven, just totalled my car. The police came and arrested me for a DUI. I was shocked. Didn't think you could get a DUI just from taking an anti anxiety pill, but apparently you can feel fine on the pills but driving is a whole nother story. I had severe anxiety after being arrested and I couldn't drive for a whole month. I had to check into the mental hospital for a few days and go on disability for a straight month. I feel so guilty for #1 letting down the people at work, and # 2 letting down my kids, who deserve a stable mother. I feel so bad that they have so many issues all because of me. I shouldn't have had to take that Klonopin in the first place. I didn't know it would affect my driving but it did. What if my kids were in the car with me? It could of been so much worse. Thank goodness it wasn't. My point is, don't feel bad. I am the one who feels bad. I feel like I failed my kids and that makes me sad. [/QUOTE]
