[QUOTE="change, post: 342751, member: 4808"] Thank you ALL for responding to my vent. I do feel better reading these and not so alone. When our difficult child son went into this very hospital over 2 years ago, I was in shock then sad every single day up until recently. This time, I am more frustrated than sad and even though I still mourn the family I thought we'd be, I've come to terms with everything that she likely won't accomplish. I know I absolutely need to get thicker skin. I drive myself crazy sometimes over the feeling of being judged. For those of you advising me to take time for me, you are so correct. I feel guilty about it but I won't lie. It's been so nice to not have to monitor someone 24/7. My husband is in colege, works full-time, and also has a small business so we haven't "gone out" or anything but we have definitely spent a few quality hours alone together since she's been gone. I'm amazed he can keep it together and stay so focused. We are blessed with a strong relationship between each other but I know we need to spend more time alone together...thus the "counting down". [B]Tic Toc[/B]- my chronic headaches began before we adopted because I have a ruptured disc in my neck and a bulging one right below (accident). My neurologist has told me repeatedly to take it easier and keep stress to a minimum. HA!!! I take Topamax daily and Excedrin Migraine daily for the headaches and Maltrex or Fiorecet when they're really bad. I grind my teeth at night which contributes to waking with a morning headache. Any tricks you know to relieve tension would be much appreciated!! Thank you [B]Sue[/B] for your very nice note. It was reassuring. I need to get serious about blowing off the "judgement" from nosey people. I agree that unless anyone's walked in our shoes, even a little, they have no idea at all about what we've been through. Hugs, prayers, and good thoughts to all of you. I can tell you've been through the same ringer we've been going through. [/QUOTE]
