I sure wish I'd had the type of support back 30 years ago when I thought I was going stark raving mad myself. [Criss says, "HI!!"] And, truly, Criss was THE ONLY ONE that got it! I don't know why, but she was the only family member that loved me through all those years when I thought it was me, my parenting, my background, my this and my that!![my daughter wasn't dx'd until she was 16yo!!] I'm a perfect victim and that has NOT helped at all. Even now at 62 [well...almost], I'm constantly evaluating my parenting skills because my daughter, 30, lives with us and her husband. AND, after so many of those years of "we'd love to...but the thing is..." we've gotten use to our own company. We became better friends, my husband and I, through all this and it made us closer. There are many that can't say that...so I'm grateful. <br /><br />AND DON'T GET ME WRONG EITHER, I love our daughter and her wonderful patient husband...she doesn't nurse anymore, but there are still times when she sucks the life right out of me because I've never quite got the fact that she and I [DH and her DH] are just doing the very best we can.<br /><br />So, Cristy, Brian and Sadie, I'd love to be able to get by and say 'HI' more often, but 'the thing is...' I'm now trying to figure out what the rest of this life holds.Caryl~mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449313062024373572noreply@blogger.com
