[QUOTE="DDD, post: 141167, member: 35"] I am not trying to alter the subject of your post but I think that the traumas in our life can change perceptions. My heart breaks for you for your loss and it does sound as though you are being impacted in other ways as well. I have been blessed to have lived a life free of violence. on the other hand, my whole life has been altered from the time GFGmom was born in the 1960's. Once I realized that she had problems and discovered there was almost no help available, I began to automatically "see" other children who were not "normal". I had never noticed children who were different unless they were radically different (wheelchairs, obviously developmentally delayed, etc.). Living with "the alphabet" , living with substance abuse, living with traumatic brain injury, losing respect for "the system"...all those things have changed my perception of reality and daily living. I was always known as someone fun to be around. I woke up smiling and always was looking forward to something. Sometimes I feel that I have been robbed. A part of me stays "on guard" in preparation for what might happen. I miss "carefree". I hope that as the months go by you will be able to feel more at peace with the world and your niche in it. You have been traumatized. on the other hand with the passage of time perhaps you can regain your perception of a normal life. DDD [/QUOTE]
