No, ther...This is just such a difficult situation. No, there are things that you can't change, but do you feel that, if you go ahead with the relocation idea, you will have enough additional support that it will be easier to cope with the day to day stuff of living? I sometimes think that, when we are stressed by the every day grind of our lives, we have so little of our "life force" remaining that situations feel overwhelming and out of control. We can try so hard to control things, to get them right, etc.. but as you have stated in your example of caring for Michael, there is still so much that remains beyond us - that we just have to find that place where we can "exist" and be prepared to let things happen as the will. Easier said than done, but at least you have the awareness to know that is the case. It's my hope that, if you do relocate this summer, you'll have enough additional support that you will have some "surplus energy" to be able experience parenthood without so much stress and pressure.bevhttp://magickcanoe.com/blog11noreply@blogger.com
