I see the quote there "sitting at home, not dressed, brooding, being alone". As a younger person that was me. Due to a really bad childhood, I spent my early adulthood that way. Not so now. I am very busy and have more positive here now than ever. But still the grief is there, like my shadow. I can be performing on stage, happily singing and playing music with a group, and have the feeling of impending doom. This is largely due to all the life/death drama of both my kids. I wish I had a way to handle that feeling, so that I could look at the problems like others do, as a clinical matter instead of feeling so dragged down. I have not stepped in, I of course cannot take care of a 5 mo. old baby. What will happen I don't know, but at this time it appears the child is not being abused. My oldest granddaughter has offered to take him, she has 2 other children, a boy 9 and a girl 5. All I can do at this time is wait and see. But, all the drama has left me exhausted and in a state of constant worry and grief. I just want to know what it is like to live without this extreme kind of stress. I know we all have stress, but I am wore out from the extreme amount and life/death content. A woman in a support group for drug addiction last week was talking about compassion for her daughter after the oldest daughter died of an overdose. She seems willing to be compassionate for the 2nd one where she was angry at the first one. I have had compassion and am now getting angry after all these years and I don't what to feel that way either. So I am struggling within myself on how I feel. if that makes sense.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p>
