[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 574124, member: 1169"] IC....and that is another source of grief for me, I can no longer dream. I spent so many years dreaming of what it would be like to be a mother and that lays in ashes at my feet. I need to set new goals, find a new dream, but the reality is no matter how hard I work at something, reality can crash it down around me at any moment. I find it very hard to care about anything anymore. It is time for me to go back to the working world....but I have no idea what to do. MWM....I'm glad that you are proud of your kids success and I know your relationship with your high-IQ kids is less than great. But for me, having a strong intellect and all that goes with it is important. I can't even have a true conversation with Piglet because she doesn't even grasp that there is something to talk about. Tigger is way behind her academically but I have far more hope for him because he is curious about the world, he wants to learn, he asks questions and debates ideas. Eeyore and Piglet will learn exactly what is on the study guide, no more and often less. They have no desire to put their knowledge into the greater context of the world. That is so devasatingly sad for me. [/QUOTE]
