[QUOTE="KateM, post: 25133, member: 1973"] I think that being wrapped up in motherhood and losing yourself into this role is common to a degree with most women. Yet parenting a difficult child pushes this to a whole new level! Yes, that is my "identity"- warrior mom. Who I am apart from that? I have to fight myself from giving into living just this label. I need to remind myself to nurture those other parts of me and the other relationships that are so dear to me. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with my role as mom to difficult child and I don't put the effort into any other aspects of "me", but then I feel so depleted.In putting forth the effort to nurture my "other selves" and in keeping our marriage strong, I renew myself.
