[quote=Anonymous]OP, please do not feel that you cannot share this with a therapist.  You may feel that a (small) weight is lifted off your shoulders if you're able to talk freely about your feelings (and not just with the anonymous people on DCUM).

I think it's really easy to talk about how brave you are and admire you, and I'm sure you are brave, but I also know from experience that you are doing what must be done, putting one foot in front of the other, and living through each hour as best you can.  There's not really much more you can do.

Also, I don't think you are questioning your daughter's value by feeling that her life is a waste, or being a lousy mom by thinking this.  There are many loving wonderful parents out there who wish to end their child's suffering, or wish that their severely severely disabled child could live up to their potential, to whomever they could be without their disability or illness.  I think you love your daughter and it's heartbreaking beyond belief to see the huge gap between who she is--the horrible lot she drew in life--and who she might have become.  Please don't think less of yourself for feeling this way.

Be kind to yourself.  I am a stranger rooting for you to survive this even when it feels unbearable.  [/quote]
