At 5am my 10 year old daughter came down and woke me up from a bad dream. She had dreamed that our house caught on fire, I ran back in and then the roof started to cave in, when she tried to follow me in I yelled at her not to come. She said I would only come out if her dad came and got me. I asked if the roof caved in, she said no, she changed the dream, dad came in and got me and we all went home together. I just held her in my arms until she fell back asleep as the tears ran down my checks. She hasn't said much about her dad leaving, I have an appointment for her on Monday with a counselor.

therapy really helped my 14 yr old girl. It's a good thing to go. Much love to all of you and I wish everyone better dreams.

It is so difficult, my 9 year old son is having nightmares. I wish that my children did not have to go through this pain.

we need a thread on idea's of how everyone helps thier kids though this, maybe there's some things other are doing that we have yet to try. just a thought.

remember the safety blanket they once had. you provide so much love and support, but children take some time to understand and cope with the new dynamic. you are doing the right thing and just continue doing what you are doing by showing her love, stability and safety. you both will be in my thoughts.

Thank you all for your replies, she is with her dad tonight and was afraid she might have another bad dream. I told her to call my cell phone if she did. I also told her I would lay in bed and send good dreams to her. I have thought about her dream a lot today. I told her after school that even though what we were going through was hard that we could do this together. I could be strong even if daddy wasn't there. And that we both love her so much.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
