The most hardest thing to be is being a parent. As each year goes by there is another stage to conquer. You hear about the terrible twos and the trying threes but they didnt label the rest of them. You get through each and pray you have done the best job you can, especially if you were a single parent. If you can get them out of high school not on drugs or anyone being pregnant you thank your lucky stars. Then they go off into the world to make their own lives and then the real fun starts. I dont even know what to do at this point. You want to be a good mother-in-law and yet you get treated like you are trash for no reason at all. I am disabled and live in pain every day and have had two really serious surgerys and even though I have been through 3 trials of a spinal cord stimulator to try to block the pain, they dont understand what you are dealing with day in and day out. If this would have happened when I was older then maybe they would get the idea, but I think they still see me as a younger person.
