words to live by

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those matter don't mind.

On my way

Well like it says on my Page "I may not be there yet, but I am closer that I was yesterday. I am trying to do the best possible job with my life and figuring out exactly where I fit into this world. Why was I given 2 children with special needs, but most of all am i making the right choices for my children. I carry a lot of guilt and resentment toward myself over things I have done. I will give some examples of this.....
 First I spent a lot of time trying to split my time between hospital with Jessica and home with Kacie . My dear husband felt as though I "was being a bad mother to kacie" for spending so much time at the hospital. At the time I felt that kacie wouldn't notice because she was only 2 1/2 but 9year later and instill hold guilt and torment myself daily.  I feel guilty always because I don't spend enough time with the kids or the time we did spend was making them clean their rooms or not just good quality time. I have spoke to a psychiatrists about my guilt and what he said was that the situation I was in is tough and the decisions I have had to make are not easy,  the guilty feelings come from a place of good intentions but the fear of uncertainty is overwhelming. He went on to say that he felt that I was a good mother just trying to do what is best for my children, which is true obviously all parents want that!. It has been a hard few months for me because the medication for my add/adhd has not been working well and my focus and concentration has gone out the Window. I am hopeful to get back on track.... Always easier said then done
