I'm a huge big green hairy monster - just become insanely jealous of anyone with a child. Its embarrassing and ashaming. I am approved and waiting for a match. But we've been on the long wait for so many years.
Been to my niece's 4th birthday party today and looking after my 8 year old niece tomorrow and I adore them both. I am very much the doting aunt. But its hard, you know?
But tomorrow morning its especially tough, I am also supposed to go to a baptism. A friend's DD is 2 and she's a peach. I feel so nervous and ashamed of feeling so jealous. Especially as this little girl and her brother are adopted. She's an old friend and we've been out of touch for a while, so I know I should be supporting her on this special day, especially as she has had to go through all the same issues as me. But I don't know if I can. I've been close to tears all day. I feel so ashamed.
Anyone able to understand and share how they coped or willing to slap me and wake me up to putting my friend first?
