In reply to OK but I said something I feel badly about..... » fayeroe, posted by Kath on July 13, 2008, at 20:45:48
> I felt badly after the talk, because before he started to talk, I said that I was really doing pretty badly; felt very worn down. At some point - I can't remember when, I said that I really wanted to see him going forward & that it was all very hard for me & that some days I didn't even want to be alive. I now feel TERRIBLE for saying that - his face went - well sorta feeling ashamed or something. I said, "I'm not trying to make you feel guilty; I'm just saying how I feel." but now I feel awful. I feel like I shouldn't have said it. My husband says it was the truth & maybe it's good for our son to know the impact on me. I dunno.
I agree wholeheartedly with your husband. Your son needs to know how his actions affect you and take responsibility for that as well.
> ANYway, I hope that one day I will remember to just try to take things as they present themselves & not work myself all up. Somehow, I suspect it'll be a long time before I succeed at that!
Wow, if you ever figure out how to do that please let me know! Thats one huge thing I'd love to overcome!
