[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 39742"] easy child is very resentful of difficult child and there is just a lot of animosity between them. I tell you that so that the next thing I tell you will carry the appropriate weight. A couple of months ago easy child commented to me that he didn't think difficult child would ever be able to live on her own. I've wondered that myself many times, but to hear it coming from easy child just shook me to the core. There is that selfish part of me that of course craves a life free from children at home one day, but mostly it's the sadness for what life may or may not hold for my child. It's the complete lack of helplessness I feel when faced with her despair because I cannot make it go away. I can provide her the resources and tools, but I can't do it for her and I just want to be able to so much. I've been dreaming of babies A LOT lately. I've had 3 dreams in which I've given birth. Would I have another baby? I honestly don't know. easy child is very easy child right now. But he struggles with depression. It's all over my family. My maternal grandmother was un-diagnosis'd classic bipolar, her son (whom I never met and we now believe, but aren't sure, is dead) was un-diagnosis'd something - probably bipolar.
