[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485533, member: 12886"] This is all pretty deep, but it is interesting how raising a difficult child child really pushes us into this mode of analyzing and rethinking and hoping, despairing, hoping again... faith, loss of faith, questioning.... You are all right. It is not good or bad. It just is. I feel the same as you do with Matt and J and I am sure many here feel this. I have often said that people make babies but God makes families. I do not mean that making the baby and the genetic connection is not important, It is for me with my parents and it is for anyone.... I just mean I think children are placed in our lives for a reason. Even when it is truly hard. But where I get tripped up is with kids who end up destroyed or destroyed and destroyers and it is because their parents/guardians did something awful to them. I can't wrap my head around a plan for that.... so in the end I probably use my faith as a tool too, to help cope with what I can't imagine could really be the way an all loving all knowing God could want things to be. I understand free will, so that is why I do still have faith, it is not of God's making. But I will never understand how suffering can go on. I dont mean this as a debate of if there is a God or not, just sharing my struggles and that I think it is very much related to raising Q. [/QUOTE]
