[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 307899"] Sooo tired today....and of course, all of this is sooo much harder when tired. I am fortunate that I have a therapist and good friends who have helped me with much of my bitterness...although it is still there...just much better. It has been a struggle, has taken the help of others, my Higher Power and considerable hard work...but I have learned and am continuing to learn how to take a difficult situation and move forward (anyway). Stress Vent.... Well, what continues to be frustrating for me...is foolishly dealing with "civilians" those who are CLUELESS, have no idea, will continue to have no idea and just can't possibly fathom this situation of life with a difficult child. Step2...I will NOT tolerate friends who even attempt to blame me. I have had professors (male) who think everything is Mom's fault. I read them the riot act, as nicely and professionally as I can. I always am thrilled when I have a female professor or even better, a female professor who is a parent. DaisyFace... You didn't do anything to deserve this. You deserve a break each and every moment you feel you need one. More than likely, no one will hand one to you...so go out and get one as best as you are able. Take a moment and think "What makes me happy?" As long as it is morale and decent...you are staying with in good and healthy boundaries...go for it! Honestly, this difficult child experience, is primarly a been there done that experience. However, if you have a good friend who has been with you for the long haul with- good empathetic abilities...they should at least have a fair understanding of the hardships involved. Sigh/Sniff. Okay...time to do something nurturing and wonderful for myself/ourselves.... pick one or two things that you need or want and GO FOR IT! [COLOR=Magenta][B]Despite these difficulties...LIFE REALLY IS GOOD! [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
