[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373106, member: 1872"] I think you are normal and healthy Sharon -- I have acutely disliked both my difficult child's for extended periods of time. During those times I have been cutting out any expectations that I will feel kindly or loving, and stay out of the way as much as I can until I can find some kind of compassion or even bare neutrality. Plus I think respite makes a difference -- respite, or in my case Residential Treatment Center (RTC), allows us to miss them because they aren't here and they are nice on the phone. Reality is completely different. For me it's been part of the grieving process -- not being able to feel the way I want to feel about gfg13 or 17. That they're somehow not letting me be my authentic self. But now I'm thinking my authentic self can just dislike them for awhile and that will be OK. xxooxx from a fellow traveler [/QUOTE]
