[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 545832, member: 13542"] SuZir, perhaps you might address it differently, that the recent arrival of this girl has prompted your subconscious to dredge up very fearful memories concerning your difficult child. This is common with the parents I believe. This may be your psyche's way of getting this to your attention so that you can deal with your own fears and find a way to dissipate them. It's not healthy for you to feel that afraid, not that you don't have a good reason to, given what our difficult child's put us through, but it may be time for you to find ways to let that fear go. I've had similar fears and I work on those in therapy and in my groups, expressing them out loud helps and hearing what others say, or what the therapists say, giving me things to think about, ways to calm myself down, exercises to allay the fear have all helped. One thing you may already have heard is that F.E.A.R. is "false evidence appearing real." We get stuck in worrying about the past and fearing for the future and it robs us of the present moment. Meditation helps me as does acupuncture. There are various ways to calm yourself including medications, I try the holistic approach first, but each of us has to find our own way. I send you gentle hugs and warm wishes that you find peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
