[QUOTE="Star*, post: 139370, member: 4964"] klmno- Yeah - I guess - Maybe the important thing for me was just hearing someone say out loud - "You know Star, it's OKAY to have dreams, but make them realistic." Seems like something you would assume everyone does - and like I said I didn't shoot the moon - but what I found out is that I only have control over me - and trying to put a square peg in a round hole and pushing and pushing didn't do anyone (me or Dude) any good. I was killing myself just trying to get ONE thing in my head to match reality in my life. Now - I'm able to just sit and think - Dude has his dreams and I have mine and I don't make speculations anymore. I deal with what is. With a difficult child it's a way better attitude to carry in your heart. And when something does come along that is surprising and good? It's a bonus and makes a good memory. I like that better than trying to forcefully create a memory to come and being disappointed that it never happens. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
