[QUOTE="Fran, post: 299776, member: 3"] I felt that way a couple of times. One when difficult child was at his worst. Why him? Why not him? Should it be my neighbors kid because I'm nice and they are awful? It's not a reward or punishment. When easy child had a seizure at school and ended up with brain surgery I thought it would crush me if he came out of it with cognitive problems. I didn't think I could go through another child with brain trouble. What was the alternative? Not that it makes you feel better but I don't believe we get to choose our hurdles in life. We get to rise to the occasion or sink into pity for them and for ourselves. At least that how I look at it. It's ok to feel sorry for the situation but tomorrow you will get up and move forward to giving her a full life and teaching her about obstacles and perserverance. Fear is always with us for some reason but we have to hide it from them. Parenting a unique child is not for wimps that's for sure. I'm sorry you are feeling so frustrated. [/QUOTE]
