[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 313323, member: 1169"] I struggle with this lot. It is the conflict between "was is" and "what should have been". It is incredibly painful to be confronted with the loss of the dream, especially if it happens over and over again. I have a very hard time looking at my children's futures (except Piglet). Of the 14 adult grandchildren in our family (I'm one), 13 went to college and all did at least 1 year of grad school. We did have two difficult children but one is now very successful in his career and married; the other still struggles but is young and her dad doesn't talk about her much. I know it is going to hurt like the dickens when all my nieces and nephews are trying to decide between Major State University and Ivy League College and mine are doing...what? I can't even picture it. I know that person was just trying to make a connection with you, but it is awkward. [/QUOTE]
