I never should have had kids. Need serious advice.

[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 630283, member: 17635"] MWM, My easy child daughter has had horrible, painful times with breakups. The worst was when she was about 20; we watched her like hawks. We pulled out the sleeper sofa so she would not be in her room. We got her a puppy. It was a downright scary time. She cried for days. Ten years later, she is back with the same guy. (ugh) Our youngest (son) has had painful breakups, but not nearly as bad as daughter. And, always, every time, it has turned out OK. There is much pain, slow healing....and then, they are wiser for it....well, except for daughter!!!!! I always envied friends with the attitude of "Plenty more fish", but i think they are the minority. I believe these painful times are part of their growth---to help them see what a good life mate looks like. This natural progression does not happen with difficult child's. Our difficult child usually tried to extract revenge. I used to worry my easy child's inherited this from me because I hurt forever from breakups. In college, i remember a good friend asking me HOW LONG are you gonna wallow? This was a breakup with a guy I truly thought I would marry. It snapped me back. Most times, it is probably not so concisely ended. Painful, but I think empowering afterwards. Please try not to worry; it will be alright. [/QUOTE]
