[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 37440, member: 2389"] I have reread your post several times Barbara. Do we make ourselves hold on to the pain because to let go and move on would mean defeat and failure? Do we want so badly for our children to be okay, that we are unwilling ourselves to experience joy because we know that they are not? Do we ask ourselves What kind of mother could possibly be happy when her child is in such shape? It is almost as though we were addicts ourselves. This must be what it feels like to crave a drug. No matter how hard we try to move past it, there it is surfacing. Constantly on our minds, no matter how hard we try to fight it. I am thankful to be able to be open and honest here, without the concern of judgement. If you came into my shop, I would greet you and pick up the conversation were we left off the last time you came in. Smiling and laughing the whole time, you would think I had no worries. If I ran into you some where else, I would smile and talk with you ~ but I would always be in a hurray to go ~ I couldn't take the time to get into a deep conversation, you may ask me about difficult child and I might be a place in my struggle that I couldn't hide the pain from showing. It helps ease the pain to openly talk here about it. Everything is not painful all the time, I don't want to leave the wrong impression. I will just say that even when the sun is shining so bright outside, there is always a little cloud [/QUOTE]
