[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 41216, member: 2389"] No where else in the world would I find a group of women that understand all the feelings of mothering a difficult child. I like the ideas of planning ahead to stay busy. Maybe a breakfast with my mom and something to stay busy the rest of the day. Barbara I have not yet tried your ways of dealing with the emotions. I remember the place setting you set in your bedroom and now the card. It must be helpful to let the feelings out and then be able to put them away. I am glad to know that we will all be here for each other I know it is just a day. For me it seems to pour salt on wounds. I know difficult child won't acknowledge it, but somewhere deep inside I need the feeling of knowing that I did do the best I could. Isn't that where all these feelings are really coming from? Regardless of what we read and regardless of what we post, deep down I think we would all be okay if we really believed in our hearts that we did the best we could. We all tell one another that and we all feel that, yet somedays regardless how much we try to push it out of our minds, it shows up. That is the time it is so hard. I don't know about others but my mind will run with the idea. When I try to let it go it just goes to other avenues of my son's life. I know this is not healthy. I know this needs to be addressed and dealt with. I am not this way all the time. The times that it comes over me are fewer and farther in between, yet it is still very much there [/QUOTE]
