[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 318410, member: 6546"] DDD-- You are so right about that. I've also heard a version of that story presented as a poem. The lesson is that you are supposed to try to enjoy the child you have instead of constantly mourning the child you didn't get. I find that reminding myself that helps a LOT. Too much of my emotion has been spent wondering why? and how did things get so bad? It's easier to let go of that expectation--which is really unrealistic in the first place--and concentrate on what you have and how you will deal with it. NOT how you will "fix" it or make it more like what you thought you wanted. --Daisyface [/QUOTE]
