[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 10457, member: 1436"] Good advice Star. I, too, realized that if I didn't start taking time for me, just me, I wouldn't make it. It seems like for 18 years I never had a moment alone---even in the bathroom---they (the kids) would come looking for me, or the phone would ring, or husband would find me--- When I first came here I was so glad to learn that I was not alone. No one but my immediate family (me, husband, pcdaughter, pcson, and difficult child) knows about the incident that brought me here. Here I was able to share and vent without stigma, without judgement, without fear or humiliation. The anonymity saved me. I certainly couldn't discuss difficult child's problems with anyone I knew---not even my best friend---it was just too enormous. But here, among strangers I found sympathy and empathy and so much support. [/QUOTE]
