Very stressful for everyone involved.<br /><br />Yep, it did sound like everyone of those reasons you listed could be the culprit for the behavior. <br /><br />What an awesome man that Hank is. Definitely your knight in shining armor. Thank God you are truly not alone...you have each other!<br /><br />(I think I would be scared it you were coming to discipline me too ;)<br /><br />Everyone has a right to some "Selfish" time. It's what keeps you in it for the long haul.<br /><br />(note, my eyes are slowly filling with tears)<br /><br />saying a prayer.<br /><br />~Juliewife.mom.nursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161476116382515206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-56209654565954605942010-02-21T17:36:38.588-05:002010-02-21T17:36:38.588-05:00Hugs!

I admire you for all you do and for reaching out for support and a listening ear when you need it! I look forward to reading more of your posts. God bless you.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770750648145547973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-25434716591332547112010-02-21T00:36:33.424-05:002010-02-21T00:36:33.424-05:00Know this: You are not alone in these feelings at...Know this: You are not alone in these feelings at all. We have all been there. And it is so hard to be the one who has to take care of everything. I am ashamed of some of the feelings that I have had over the years regarding different things. I am just glad that we can be here for you. And we are here for you. Keep me posted on the "flying monkeys" situation!! xoxoSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173303399522862906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-13615827272302805762010-02-20T23:01:38.001-05:002010-02-20T23:01:38.001-05:00No apologies are needed at all.

Life can be hard sometimes, but remember, God is right there with us every step of the way. He will NEVER give us more than we are able to handle. I too am feeling stress from dealing with aging parents and if anything else comes into play, I wonder how I will handle it. Hang in there. You also have the pressure of your new job. I am praying for you! Please know that your blogger friends are here for you whenever you need to vent.

As you know, my nephew had DS and I was sole caretaker for each of my parents and now my husband. I certainly understand your feelings and also the shame of even having those feelings. It may or may not be so, but I saw a quote that was attributed to Mother Theresa. It said, "God only gives me what I can handle. I just wish He did not trust me so much." <br /><br />I'm glad that you have the blog to reach out to many who walk your same path. Someone to share your inner thoughts with and draw the support and love and prayers of friends. And that is what I offer tonight.<br />By the way, my sister has just started a new blog devoted solely to her life with a Down Syndrome child and his death at age 3. I'll try to get the http address and forward it to you.<br />I pray tomorrow will be a better day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185523471223729444.post-47471475899822563812010-02-20T17:02:34.298-05:002010-02-20T17:02:34.298-05:00Oh dear, I think you just admitted to being human!...Oh dear, I think you just admitted to being human! It's perfectly understandable that you feel the weight of the responsibility, and yep, even bitter about it at times. The difference is that you know that you are blessed also, and that you count those blessing every day. Wallow all you want and then pick yourself up, shake it off and go back to being the wonderful person that we all know you are!
