[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 42144, member: 3388"] I think it has something to do with Mother's Day, being aroud friends with "typical" kids, and total frustration over trying to get difficult child 2 some help. Mother's Day is just a sad holiday for me. I know I have lots of reasons I should be happy, but I just find the day sad. Having difficult children just takes so much out of me!!! I'm happy that physically all my children are healthy. I'm happy that easy child is doing so well in spite of living with difficult children. I'm happy that easy child and I have such a good relationship and are so close, and yet I'm so sad too. I want her to have a "normal" home life. I feel guilty, even though I know I shouldn't, for wanting difficult children to be grown up, out of my house, and able to take care of themselves. I feel guilty because I don't know if difficult child 2 will ever be able to totally care for himself. I'm afraid difficult child 1 won't take his medication once he is on his own. I could go on and on and on... but I'm going to stop. Basically, I just want my difficult children to be happy, independent, productive adults. Maybe I'm not as detached as I want to think I am... However, I still wish I could spend Mother's Day totally alone, no difficult children in sight!!! I was glad to see old friends yesterday. I'm happy that they have "typical" kids and are all doing well. It's just hard because sometimes being around friends with "typical" kids just makes me want to wave a magic wand over difficult children and make them "typical" too. I know this is ridiculous - A total fantasy... I'm going to pull myself together and make today a productive one!!! Thanks for listening... WFEN [/QUOTE]
