Love your post! It was wonderful to read and know that there is at least someone else out there. You are making me look at how I was feeling toward my children. My son is 10 and has special needs. He is really difficult right now. I often think to myself that I don't want to be a parent anymore and I want to throw the towel in and give up. I struggle with my own demons and I ache because I don't want my son to feel the same way. I had been saying that I love my children, but I don't like my son right now. It isn't him I don't like, it is the parenting part of it. I hate confrontation and my husband and I constantly work on how to parent together, but we just don't agree and he doesn't understand necessarily what it feels like to be depressed or whatever. He thinks meds fix everything and they don't.

Anyway, thanks for the post.
Thanks for this!
