[QUOTE="Farmingmom, post: 651345, member: 18789"] Confused, you are not alone. (None of us are.) But I 'get' the awkward thing. I was here many years ago, when my kids had me dangling over the edge. Back then, I posted A LOT. I couldn't get through a day without finding comfort somewhere here on the boards. Now, however, after being gone for so many years, and being in such a different place with my kids, sometimes I'm not sure how to respond. My thoughts are there, my heart is, too. But somehow, everything I try to say just seems to come out sounding wrong and I don't hit that "post reply" button. I've been reading. I've been following along. But the words just aren't there in a way that I feel would be helpful. But LittleDudesMom is right...even just a "I've been there, done that. I feel your pain." can do a lot for someone on the edge of parenting sanity. I remember times, years ago, when just knowing someone else knew what was going on in my head helped me get through the day. Sometimes, just getting my thoughts organized into a post helped me talk to the professionals and articulate what was going on here at home. To have that, plus someone else who cared enough to say they were listening, even if they didn't have answers, made the bad days just a little easier to get through. [/QUOTE]
