[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 284812, member: 6245"] Thank you for posting this! Even though I don't paint I used to READ and love it. My dream was to write a book although right now I have no idea how I would accomplish it. My husband says to write a book about difficult child and our struggles and though I think its a great idea I believe its many years down the road for me. I know parenting is all about sacrafice but no one really understands the REAL sacrifice all of us parents of difficult child's make. I realized I had to put my career and dreams on hold for now and quit my job to be home with him because I was just running out of options. I definitly went through a grieving period realizing everything I couldnt do in this moment. I also put faith in God but still get angry with him when I think I have reached my limit. I think all these feelings are normal for difficult child parents and it is really important to get them out there so we dont feel alone. If it werent for this forum I would feel like a horrible, guilty parent 24/7 wondering why I couldnt fix this. Now I just accept what I cant change and accepting difficult child's illness helps me not go completely crazy:happy: Try to keep painting as often or as little as you can!! All of us need to find "therapy" to keep going! [/QUOTE]
