[QUOTE="Heavy hearted, post: 733276, member: 23067"] Nessie You are describing my life to a T. My old self would be happy when I heard of a co worker, friend or family member's children's accomplishments. Now, I walk away not caring and yes even angry. Not angry at them, but angry that I don't have the son that I can brag about. We had such high hopes for him. I do on the other hand, have a daughter that is doing well in college and life. Yes, I am blessed. I think back and realized that I was putting so much energy, time and money trying to keep my son's head above water. I wasn't "really" there for her. I felt the need to apologize to my daughter if she felt that I was neglecting her in any way. My daughter has a beautiful soul. This past few years have also been tough on her. I have witnessed that it's only made her stonger and wiser. My son had a way of manipulating all he came in contact with. My daughter learned way before we did not to enable my son. My prayers will continue for everyone posting on here. We have to hang in there. Prayers and hugs! [/QUOTE]
