[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 123825, member: 1587"] Oh Karen, Sending you many gentle hugs. :( It is true that it is not your problem but that doesn't take the pain in your mother's heart away. :( When we had our split with our difficult child I took all of his pictures, things he had made, anything to remind me of him, down and packed them away. It hurt too bad to constantly be reminded of him as a little guy... somewhat sweet. :( After a few months I began taking them out again and looked at them in a different light. You have to do what it takes to protect your heart. With me it was pushing thoughts of difficult child out of my mind as soon as they came in and getting busy with other things. It was the only way I could avoid the pain...and because it wouldn't go away...avoiding became my only tool. Eventually I could think about him and not hurt... so bad. difficult child got a less than savory tatoo in the Marine Corps, thankfully it is on his back so it is hidden... and we don't talk about it. :) Praying for your peace and hoping that your difficult child will wake up soon.
