[QUOTE="Mominator, post: 678618, member: 18745"] Thank you COPA, KSM, Wiped Out, New Leaf, and Feeling Sad. I appreciate all your kind words and especially for reaching out. I am feeling better on the inside (emotionally) today than I was yesterday. My brain and body are exhausted but I'm taking small naps and trying my best to keep up with my duties to family. Feeling Sad, I do see a therapist. Actually all of my kids and I do. The only one who doesn't is my husband. I'm very thankful for my therapist, she treats me in her office and prays for me outside her office. :-) Part of my problem I think is I don't really have a close support system to share this with. All of my family, (with the exception of my 87 year old step father who lives 10 minutes away) lives across the country from me. I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers who are aware of some of our difficulties with the kids but they are so far away and often it is months between the times we talk that I have no support system. I don't really have friends because I've immersed myself in my kids and their problems. Then of course there are my own health issues. During the day I feel like I'm the sole inhabitant on an island just a little too far off the coast that I can't swim to shore (and who has that energy anyways). I'm lonely during the day with too much time on my hands to think. Then in the evening all of my "problems" arrive on my island where I'm trapped until I go to bed. Yesterday I was sad and crying. Today I'm just having a pity party... Tomorrow will be a new and better day. [/QUOTE]
