[QUOTE="onmyknees, post: 96035, member: 4296"] Hi! (((HUGS))) soooooo know how you feel. My 4 brothers all have kids that are 4.0 students, state athletes, national scholars, musicians...etc...I swear about 10 of them in all. Of course, these are my neices and nephews, and I do really feel happy for their successes, but it's impossible not to feel a twinge of jealousy for my own. My oldest is my difficult/odd one, raising her has been like having my teeth pulled everyday, our 13 y.o. was born with a cleft lip and palate, hearing problems, eye problems it goes on and on...mentally he's fine, but again, no stellar grades...we hope for c's. Our youngest is 7 and a bit dyslexic, so that's a struggle. I just want to scream sometimes. Just know you are NOT alone in your feelings, and I'm sure everyone has their struggles, it's just that we don't know about 99% of them. I continue to pray that I can be more grateful for what we do have, which is a lot. I don't know that I really have much advice for friends, I'm not really that social, and don't have any "close" friends. But, I think honesty is the best, and like the previous poster said, I think a broad explaination to protect the other kids is necessary. Take Care! [/QUOTE]
