[QUOTE="DrPepper, post: 484201, member: 13223"] This thread literally made me cry at my desk at work today. Learned my lesson in jumping on this board in the middle of the day! We all love our kids or we wouldn't be here. I have a sneaking suspicion that all of you were wonderful, loving parents. I have to constantly remind myself not to beat myself up over what I cannot change. And other people, our difficult children, we cannot change. On the first day of kindergarten my son was given the wrong name tag and took the wrong bus home. Pretty scary situation for all involved. After that, I had "the talk" with him about strangers and what to do if he was ever lost. I told him that if anything ever happened to him that my heart would break in two. I remember he looked at me funny because he thought I meant literally but I explained to him that it would make me very, very sad. Little did I know that it would be him being his own worst enemy that would be breaking my heart in two. Nobody, except us, really know what we see when we look at our now grown up children, the therapists, doctors, etc., we still see them as our babies and the kids we nurtured, the sweetness, the innocence, those faces in our old pictures. It is hard to separate. [/QUOTE]
