[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 597131, member: 14356"] Payla - I wonder what those dreams mean. Do you think they mean that difficult child is threatening your physical safety or your health and well being? I'm glad you are working hard to take care of yourself. It is difficult when they are constantly coming to you and asking for this and that. I feel so awful for our members who must consider that their children might not live through their choices. I'm so sorry you have to think about that too. It occurs to me that I might have to face that with difficult child someday if he tries to commit suicide (he's had a couple of half-hearted attempts - more looking for attention than actually serious) but I feel that those of you dealing with addicted difficult child's suffer so much and it makes me sad for you. I can't even liken it to my brother (foster child) that committed suicide at 22. He was depressed his whole life, it seemed. Carrying the burdens of his family history didn't help. In some ways I felt relieved when he passed because I knew he was no longer suffering, no longer in pain and in other ways, of course, I was sad. I think his life and the path he took sort of prepared us for it in a way. But he was my brother. I can't imagine how I would feel if it was my child. I'm glad you are finding some joy in your life and are caring for yourself. Hugs to you today. [/QUOTE]
