I have one DD. I have thrown myself into the parenting thing for the last 17 years, always putting her first, even to the extent of getting a term time job so I could be there at the school gate and have holidays with her, so much so I thought we had a good relationship. She knows I will be upset and got mad at me this week as I got a little teary which I know is normal.
Then she said I was being selfish and had to stop being like this as I was upsetting her and that wasn't fair on her. I do feel upset at this comment as she has been my life and I am annoyed at myself for perhaps doing too much for her and making her selfish in this way. Why don't my feelings count I am always at the back of the queue.
I know I will be bereft as my relationship with DH isn't that good and the thought of us being alone without her is bad.
I feel I can't even talk about it as right now I feel so emotional. How I wished I had had other kids to divert my attention, I even get grief about her being an 'only' child!
