[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I have been there. I have a child with special needs and medical complications, and then my husband almost died in a freak accident and I could get out the violins and give a long story. I allow myself to feel it all and grieve. I also try to keep track of the good, no matter how tiny. I also do remind myself of the tragedies in the world and the people facing far more hardship who keep going. I think we all cling to hope for a brighter moment, day or future and while we can't predict the future, I do find I get brighter moments and days. [/quote]

My husband actually did unexpectedly die when my special needs child was 2 years old and not yet diagnosed (that came 4 years later). Now he's a teen.  My husband's death was unthinkably awful and nearly destroyed me.  I have now spent over a decade and thousands of dollars on advocates, attorneys, psychiatrists, therapists, you name it.  Having been judged, rejected, lied to, alienated and humiliated, I think my "roiling rage" as one poster described it, is rightfully justified on certain days.  If I turn my anger inward, I will mentally collapse.  My rage gives me the energy to live another day.[/quote]

I am so sorry. Nobody should have to go through all that.[/quote]
