Your words helped to open my eyes to the fact that things aren't as bad as they seem. I have been much more able to hold my temper in check, realizing that they are testing me and attempting to help me know how they feel.<BR/><BR/>Relaxing and realizing that I'm doing the best I can, and so are they, has been very helpful. I'm already the best mom I can be for them right now, and I'm going to let things continue to grow on their own and quit kicking myself for not being able to feel differently than I do. I believe that time will take care of it.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are having a good day with yours.Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472308386707524018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131986223774590221.post-53148119917483949522008-08-26T05:19:00.000-07:002008-08-26T05:19:00.000-07:00Hey Gawdess,Thanks for the post on my blog.

It feels so good to know that somebody understands how I feel. <BR/>And thanks for the encouragement. It never occurred to me that I might be exactly what they need right now.<BR/><BR/>I read the article too. Wow! That definitely gives me some foreknowledge about controlling my reactions to them so they will learn how to deal with their emotions by watching me. I will admit that my reactions to feeling their feelings has not been pretty most of the time.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472308386707524018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131986223774590221.post-20151706377461114322008-08-14T10:10:00.000-07:002008-08-14T10:10:00.000-07:00Glad you came back!
