[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634779, member: 1550"] I have not seen the movie and never heard the song "Love." They both sound thought provoking. Albacross, this is for you. I don't like negative emotions. Maybe I dislike them more and can handle them less than most. I have often wondered if my life would have been better if I hadn't had any children. Some people can have kids and just go on and not take anything too seriously, but I'm the opposite. I used to literally feel all that they felt. It was so tiring. My latest is that Jumper broke up with her amazing boyfriend and nobody could figure out why. Now she wants him back, but he's afraid to try again and she is sad. So sad. He has told her he wants to cut all ties and will not even text her. She called me crying, but not too much because she hides her feelings, but I know how it hurts. And if I think about it, I can cry much more easily than her...for her. I know she caused it, but I hate when my precious daughter is sad. I have had to use my new coping skills to distract myself from focusing on her and how sad she is right now. So reading about your friend helped me see the pain my children cause me in a different light. I will still always wonder if, because of how emotional I am, not having kids would have been better for me, but I do love them so much. It is at times overwhelming. Would it have been better not to feel this love? It would have saved me a lot of pain too. I have no other family. I'm glad I have my kids. But I HAVE suffered a lot of pain because of how I am and how much I love my kids. It WOULD have been easier to have been childless, at least in my case. But easy isn't always best. [/QUOTE]
