[QUOTE="totoro, post: 139386, member: 3155"] SO true... to only be able to shed a bit of this honesty on to the people who make the decisions in our children's lives. For the courts, the schools for relatives... to feel what it is to lose these dreams. To have to build back up what little you can, and call it what you will, hope, dreams, strength, crazy... To be constantly stripped and squashed of all hope is one of the most degrading and animalistic feelings I think one can have... No-one can get it, no-one can understand until they themselves have been beaten and stripped of all hope and dreams... and left to somehow build them back up, if at all possible. Some do, some can't... it is impossible for a mind to even start to hope again. Star you are so right on with your attitude!!! I had to explain this to husband... not to give up his hope and dreams for K... because he has no idea what it is to sink so low, all he has lost is a dream of what he thought he wanted for our daughter. Not for himself. How does one ever know what their child is capable of? Mental Illness or not??? He just has to change his expectations for her... for now. DREAMS and HOPE... sigh. I have a hard time with this one also.... [/QUOTE]
