[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 752521, member: 4040"] It is grief - for the lives we COULD have had if... I imagine it's that way for everyone. We have hopes for our kids, and when we notice that they don't have friends, are doing poorly in school, are unmotivated or misbehaving or being destructive - as parents, we wonder what we're doing wrong. And we grieve, not only for our children's difficulties, but because we are not the parents we thought we would be. We're losing our identity and it hurts, and at the same time, we're hurting for our kids. And we grieve for it all, usually with a healthy dose of guilt to go along with it. Many gentle hugs.
