[QUOTE="Jena, post: 265610, member: 4514"] wow, that's been me since she has been born lol. as we had previously discussed i think that there comes this pivotol point whereas you need to seperate slightly as a parent, both for self preservation and also to give the child space and room and make them start learning to be responsible for their moods, or their emotions and kinda work it out on their own without our constant probing how was your day what happened etc......... just my thoughts. i've been working on exactly that as well, for years i'd cringe get sick on my way to work at the way our a.m.'s would go. than i started to seperate a little and flip it a bit in my mind to I'm teaching her how to cope and how to be strong, growth hurts, especially for our kids I think, especially for mine. So, i seperate more and more now on those drop off and pick up levels. Ive come to notice with-boyfriend's help how i am so emersed in her moods, and stuff. how i feed into it a bit with my probing. so i've been making a conscious effort simply not to. it's so so so hard. Wow! yet i'm there with you andy, you love your son and any level of pain they experience can totally wipe us out. your a great mom, yet i think with all of us our skin tends to thicken raising our kids, if it didn't we wouldnt' be able to survive it. i'm happy to say i only break down over difficult child every 5 weeks now. LOL. it's not funny ha ha yet it's true. I used to melt down weekly and hurt over her struggles. ok i had too much coffee today and i'm not used to being home.... sorry it was a book!!! (((Hugs))) your doing a great job!!! [/QUOTE]
