[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 128726, member: 2063"] Interesting that you should bring this up. I had a session with difficult child 1 yesterday before I came up to the college in Ames. She started almost whining when I mentioned that I was staying in a hotel with a pool. I stood and told her that the hotel was my luxery. It was for me. Not for her, not for difficult child 2, not for easy child, not for husband for me. It was mine. I am not allowed a lot of that and this was mine. The look on her face was quite one of surprise. (alas we all know that teenagers do need a wake up call that we are allowed lives occaisionally). husband and I came into this situation differently. We never had the us freedom. The kids already had the problems in full swing (although he was in denial) when we got together. So we haven't had many of those moments of us. However that doesn't stop me from missing having had them. I don't have a picture of us all together. And at this point never will. We are a very atypical family. I do understand what you are saying. It can be very strange to love our kids implicitly and still have in the back of the head something different. Many hugs beth [/QUOTE]
