First, let me say that I was very very touched by the original post. You and I have gone thru so many parallel things, and my heart is so joined with yours and the blessings we have received in sobriety that have kept us sane when everything in us wanted to escape into insanity. Our children are our tenderest spots, and like we talked about yesterday--today, they are somewhere that we know is safe, and we can even find a blessing in that. His/Her will unfolds as it should, and someday I hope we will experience the enormity of it. A Blessed Mother's Day to you, too, Toni. Love Wren

I feel for you and what you are going through. I know how difficult certain times of the year are due to past events that have taken place in our lives. There seems to be no total relief from these things, no matter how much help we get from doctors, religious groups, and people in the program. These feelings never go away. They do become bearable though.
I guess I just wanted to say that it's okay to feel the way you are feeling. You are human. I believe that it's better to feel the feelings than be oblivious to them. Imagine not feeling sad about events that have taken place in life. What kind of person would that make us? It's okay to post on here about what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. That's how the program works, even if it does still hurt like hell.
I hope this helps. If not dispose of it as you would with anything else.
