THIS was a great (horrible) rant. My MIL is ...Wow.. THIS was a great (horrible) rant. <BR/>My MIL is exactly the same way. <BR/>I could hear her saying "Oh. That." just clear as a bell in mind. <BR/>And those are the better moments. The rest of the time she's just silent & uncomfortable. <BR/><BR/>People just don't get it. They really, really don't get it. <BR/><BR/>I think the worst of it for me is that my HUSBAND is the same way to an extent. He doesn't understand why I cry when my period comes. Or feel fear now that I"m pregnant. What's happened in the past is the past so why let it affect my future. <BR/>To me, the past is my future. My future should contain birthday parties and first words and right now.. it doesn't.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150585209390355119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701294853944479424.post-91605324633425399112008-01-16T05:37:00.000-08:002008-01-16T05:37:00.000-08:00Thank you for your kind post the other day on my b...Thank you for your kind post the other day on my blog. I, too, became obsessed with adoption after my first IVF failed. I just couldn't see myself mustering up the courage to do another cycle.<BR/> <BR/>My therapist explained to me the need to mourn the loss of my genetic child before pursuing adoption. I was resistant at first because I just wanted to be a mom. Then I realized I needed to walk the path of least regret and move forward with additional treatment. <BR/><BR/>And, of course I did get pregnant only to suffer an even greater loss - miscarriage.<BR/><BR/>So many people around me said, "Oh well, just try again". My husband and I are very about about our infertility and everyone is well aware that "just trying again" involves invasive drugs and surgery with a small chance of positive outcome. <BR/><BR/>Well intentioned people cannot seem to understand that I haven't experienced one loss but, many after TTC for over 3.5 years. Everyday that I am without my child is devastating.<BR/><BR/>I am very sorry for all of your losses. I wish your great success in 2008. I will be following your journey!!!Working Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758305075186128noreply@blogger.com
