[QUOTE="Steely, post: 66832, member: 3301"] Yes, hugs, prayers, and flash lights, that is exactly what I need. Thank you guys. I gave my sweet, 3 month old puppy a big hug imagining a good cyber hug from you guys. I went and bought a coloring book, and some clay. I felt the odd urge to do things that made me feel young and happy. It's weird I was doing pretty well working thru my childhood with my counselor until my dad got brain cancer, and then I felt like I came to a stand still. I had to support him, and my mom, instead of process my issues. I am still cleaning up the bits of shards of glass all over the house from difficult children rage, and putting back together my computer he destroyed, and trying to pull out all the stops to find some glimmer of hope. Since the rage was once again about his father, I am not sure I am even going to continue to press charges now for child support. It just seems really not worth it at this point. But yet, now I will feel like I let my son get his way by bullying and manipulating me. But when is something just too unbearable, too much, and consequently not worth pursuing. I don't know. I also wonder about all of his medications now. It seems his behavior has become worse since the Lamictal that was started back in March. I feel done with medications, actually, sick of this merry go round of medication changes, side effects, tweaking, blah, blah, blah. Maybe he would do better on no medications. And I do have to wonder about why so many bad things happen to certain people. I have read The Secret, The Power of Positive Thinking, The Bible......I know all that positive imaging stuff, and about god and power of prayer.....but none of it has worked. I have tried to find a reason as to why my life has been so crazy. I kept thinking that maybe my purpose in life was to write a book about my experiences, and maybe I could change the world with my insight. However, now I am thinking maybe just some of us are destined to live these crummy lives, and all we can do is endure. [/QUOTE]
