[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 99382, member: 1157"] I never regretted having children. I resented it sometimes, though. For a long, long time, I resented being dealt the cards I was dealt. I would go through the motions of fighting for their needs, of being there for them, of staying "strong," but would frequently dissolve into tears once no one was "watching." I can't remember the moment I got through that. I suppose it was gradual. I do know antidepressants helped, along with some great counselors. At some point, I said to myself, "God chose me to be the parent of these girls. If He believes I can do it, then I have to believe it, too." I still cry sometimes. I still have my moments of "why me," but not nearly as much as I used to. I love both my girls. I ache for their troubles. I get mad as heck at them sometimes, and don't like them sometimes. But I don't regret having them. I'm so sorry for your pain, Midwest Mom. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
