[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 504741, member: 11001"] I don't think I would have kids in the next life either. While I love both of them, my son was a handful when younger and difficult child...well she is nothing but stress. I have often had to teach lessons at church about being thankful for your trials. I try so hard to be thankful. I try so hard to learn from the trials. When I teach these lessons, I usually find myself so close to tears and I have to be honest and tell them that I am not yet thankful-working on it. I'm affraid I am just not very greatful. Everyday is a big question mark. The stress of wondering what is going to happen, the stress when things go south, the stress of a good day but all the while wondering how long it will last or what the motivation for a good day might be (i.e. am I about to be manipulated?). I am not yet to the place where I can detatch enough to be truelly happy. And yes, I worry about about those dark posts and the losses our difficult children seem to have at an epidemic pace. I never had these feelings as a youngster or all these deaths of people-I just don't relate. It is just another heavy load that this lifestyle creates for them. And suicide..it is a huge worry as difficult child almost did it in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) this past August. [/QUOTE]
