[QUOTE="momshope, post: 761811, member: 28730"] Absolutely! If we can still help each other with encouragement or advice, we are not truly lost. I am tired of crying myself to sleep and waking up to a panic attack. I am not perfect but omg my kids had a magical life due to ME. That is the truth. They are so threatened that I am married now, and in spite of saying they were happy for me, are behaving like lost waifs at 28 and 30. Wont drive one hour to see me, compared to my two hour drive, and physical emotional cost to me. Tell me what works, please? And I encourage you and hubby to love yourselves first, tho it is not our first impulse as parents. I took care of my now ex for one year after 1-Finding out he was cheating on me with a married client. I went to church alone for a week. God told me to help him choose from a place of wellness. So I took care of him, without him ever knowing I knew of infidelity. Cooked special meals for him, ran after him to take medication, etc. Nightmare. 2-finding out my 7 year old kid was abused by her teacher. My ex did not support my efforts for therapy for either of my kids, or me. This happened at the same time as the above. One day, I was driving to a court date and could not remember if it was for my divorce or for my kid. Almost died, pulling over to breathe. Thank you God for my friends who I called. Why is it that we can raise our kids with solid values and some get it while others do not? I am fairly certain it is not on us. I am an educator. I will try and get 89 percent understanding. It isn't enough. Being an educator means you bust you butt to re up to 100 percent. I will change my game, focus on learning style, etc. oil they get it. But to USE it is up to them. Especially in adulthood. We cannot take the blame or shame then. Must go cook supper:) I am a good cook and an even better eater lol. CONTINUE feeling good, as you are so worthy, and please, breathe deep. xo [/QUOTE]
