Thank you for sharing GiveLove.

One of the many things that I have learnt over the past couple of months here on SR is to let that anger surface - not to run away from it, ignore it or bury it. I no longer feel guilty or a bad person for feeling angry or furious at my parents - I have learnt not to be scared of my anger and learnt that like all intense emotions, given time, it passes.

Today, I am much more in a place where I want to be - the rawness of the grief and anger have muted and settled again.

Had an ironical laugh today though - I found out that because we are coping so well as a family and because my son is so well supported, he has no "needs" to be met by social services. If we were a dysfunctional family that weren't meeting his needs or if I had hit the bottle because I couldn't cope then we would have been eligible for respite care support. There's a positive compliment in there somewhere.
