[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 454784, member: 1157"] Some of my triggers are related to other parents celebrating their child's successes. Graduation, going off to college, marriage, babies. I didn't get to attend any graduation ceremonies (unless you count Youngest's preschool graduation). No college. Oldest had a wedding, but I helped her plan it with dread, knowing it was a mistake. The marriage lasted six months. Youngest had two unplanned pregnancies with two different abusive men. No "normal" milestones for my children. That being said, those things don't bother me quite as much as they used to. Nowadays it's more of a twinge of regret and loss, vs. crying at the loss. Acceptance is slowly settling in. [/QUOTE]
