[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 750436, member: 24130"] I was the same way on my son's birthday last week. What a major emotional crash I had! Out of sheer panic I joined a ceramics class the next day, and spent three hours creating. It was good for my soul. Maybe just the way it worked out, but most times I feel so much has been destroyed, so creating was good. The "What Could Have Beens" (with my kids) a lot of times become more than I can bear. I am in this mantra-state right now, trying to really accept that I'm alone and this is what it is, My Life, for better (hopefully) or for worse. I feel, sometimes, like a feral cat -- afraid to let anyone or anything touch me, less I get hurt or worse! But, I think Busy is right. The future IS a mystery... I have to at least TRY to sway the outcome in my favour or there will continue to be times when I feel that I just might not make it. I recognize your pain all too well, Sunny. It resonates as a (silent) sonic boom. Fill your day with grace and self-love. Wish nothing but good for yourself AND your daughter. Walk outside and let the sun shine on your face for just a moment. This is where you start.... [/QUOTE]
