[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 426518, member: 8831"] you are hardly alone. and i've never actually said any of this out loud. my husband thinks i'm having a massive allergy attack today. its mothers day. i felt honored to have the small window of time today to actually feel sorry for myself--i usually just dont have time to dwell. its pretty pathetic when thats a luxury.... i spent most of the day sobbing.....like you, i cant stand the "wonderful accomplishments" of the average kid anymore. that is a terrible thing to admit, but its the truth. i dont want to hear about how someone elses day involved brunches and rainbows. mine didnt. not by far. it was one thing for me when i had one difficult child. [B]Veni Vidi Vici[/B]. and now i have two. i pretty much cannot come to terms with it...neither of mine will ever fix me breakfast in bed let alone function independently. and i feel sorry for [I]myself[/I]. i have no help. i have one that is 100%+ dependant on me--so much so that i pick his nose--and one that is dependent enough that it scares the **** out of me to think what the outcome will be....i cant even go there. but neither of them care...they are who [I]they[/I] are. its me who has suffered such a loss that i can no longer stand it. so no, you are not alone. i have no idea if its normal or not, but after almost 18 years of serious gfgdom, with a second throw in just to mess with my head, i'm guessing its inevitable in my case. i'm just not so sure why this is the year it matters so much. i once read something about caregiver fatigue...it details on a month by month basis the stages (like the stages of grief). it ends at at oh, i think 48 months. 48 MONTHS??????? wth happens after XX (in my case,18+) [I]years....[/I] i could do 48 months standing on my head. i think i'll go have some chocolate--and i'll happily share with all of you....since that makes [I]everthing[/I] better, so i hear. but know you arent alone.
