I cannot believe someone would think you are one to "pick and choose" your children! That is just absurd. One day, he will thank you for all you have done for him and he will love you so much for that. Jess, you are such a brave woman and you know how much I think of you.

I hope it feels easier after today. I'm sure you've been anticipating today, but it's here and over. I know it can't be erased, but you seem to have a good head about it. Really, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I wish everything would just hurry up and get better for you. Alli Hugs, Jess. I hope it feels easier after today.

And you need to do it at your own pace and in your own way. Try to ignore those who tell you its time to move on. That's not up the them that's between you and your heart. You have suffered a loss of a child. Not through death (like me) but a loss just the same. In some respects your loss is more difficult because you know where he is and up until recently you had the option to take him back. That makes the process more difficult. Even though you are past that point it still make take some time for things to get better. I just want you to know its ok to grieve. Its ok to miss him. Its ok to want to hold him. Its ok to go at your own pace with this process. Please be gentle with yourself. Cry when you need to hug your kids when you need to. Kim You do need to grieve.

You shouldn't have to deal with your mother. You shouldn't have to put up with that. But where else is there to go? You NEED the emotional support. You don't deserve to have these feeling with no one there to listen to them. I pray that you can jump this hurdle, as you have all others, and, please, no matter how WRONG it is for you to "think", don't ever let go of your babies. Depression has a terrible way of putting thoughts into your head, that you KNOW don't belong there. It just isn't you. I'm glad you recognize that. Jess, I hope you can get the help you deserve. I'm stretching it, but, your mother wouldn't go to a counseling session with you would she? She needs some herself, I'm sorry to say. :( Keep your chin up! Jess, I’m aching for you.

I didn't realize that after all this signing, there's still that "window". Sort of makes you wish you can push the "Deal or No Deal" button, huh? I hope your days are getting better and that the kids are in good health - of course, you too! How are you doing Jessica? I didn’t realize that after all this signing, there’s still that “window”.
