Yikes.....sorry for anyone who read that. I reread and realized how selfish I was being. Please know that I did come to my senses and realize that this isnt about me. Guess I had a moment. Best wishes to you all

venting, feeling pity for ourselves and writing about it is very therapeutic. if you didn't get a feedback fast enough from us, lazy ladies, is because most are enjoying the weekend and the nice weather :rolleyes: :o sorry :o :(

It's not selfish to be human, even when your child needs you, even when your needs and venting can't compare to those who have it so much worse which there always is (I just read a malaria article in National Geographic so that's what I was thinking of).
Well, I dunno what you put but mother to mother you have my support about your thread title anyhow!

Well, I did read it before you edited and I didn't think it was selfish. You're scared for your child and don't know what to do. I would have answered sooner, but wasn't sure what to say that would be helpful to you. I can sympathize completely with what you are going through, but gosh darn it, I have no solutions. I did find this website that gave me a few pointers, maybe you'll find it useful:

Sorry, I can't be more helpful, really I know how you feel.

Thank you all very much. I am afraid for my son and to be honest, afraid for my whole family. I plan on reading and reading so any sugggestions you all have will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't see it, but it sounds like "Overwhelmed" says a lot about what you said, whatever it was. I think we'd all be liars if we claimed we didn't ever have a day or two like that. (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))). Just last night, I had a mini breakdown myself, and I felt guilty because I'm always saying how well Drew is doing (and he is!), and I felt horribly guilty for thinking and saying (to hubby) the things I said. Turns out a lot of it was the--ahem--monthly blood donation and probable thyroid h3ll. :( I have over a dozen signs. (I am going to try today to get an earlier appt than the 8/6 appt I have. :rolleyes: )
(((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))). Today is a new day! :)

Hi there,
I'm actually sorry I missed your moment.
One of my favourite sayings is this one...
“I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dropped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity.” ~ Hazel Lee
I hope you stick around and know you're not alone there. Don't feel bad.
