Thankful for counseling. Thankful that he gets a chance to develop good patterns of dealing with live, instead of getting stuck in dysfunction.<BR/><BR/>And at the same time I'm angry. I think it isn't fair. Kids shouldn't have to deal with mental illness. <BR/><BR/>What is wrong with this screwed up world when a pretty normal, pretty stable, imperfect but loving family isn't "enough" to help a kid get a good start. . . Shouldn't that prevent anxiety and depression?! My goodness! I put my 8 y/o on prozac!

I'll be in prayer for you especially these next 31 days! I remember when I was pregnant, I had such horrible fears of people dying or me falling and injuring the baby. I think that's a normal part of pregnancy. You are right, the hormones are running wild! I pray you'll be able to enjoy these last few days of Beatrix inside of you before she makes her grand entrance; something you've been waiting for for years! Love you, SelenaDan and Selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089883919448362696noreply@blogger.com
