[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 621738, member: 13542"] Hi Mechdonna. I have those feelings too. In fact the night my difficult child was arrested a couple of weeks ago, I had dreamed about her the night it happened and that is unusual for me to dream about her. I believe there is more that goes on in life then simply what we can see...........however, sometimes it is possible that our own worry and concern manifests as our kids calling out for us. Think about when he was a little guy, didn't you sometimes think he was calling for you or you heard him in the night and when you checked, he was just fine? It's likely that. And, as most things in life, we just don't know, we have to live in that uncertainty and that lack of groundedness..........it is tough. I have been reading a couple of books which may offer you some comfort............ [U]Comfortable with Uncertainty[/U] and [U]Living Beautifully[/U] by Pema Chodron. I've just started reading [U]When things fall apart[/U], by the same author. They've helped me enormously to navigate this crazy terrain we parents live on. Hang in there. Keep posting it really does help to clarify our feelings and get the needed support and empathy. Sending hugs.......... [/QUOTE]
