I'm just having a 'poor me' day today. Wanted to vent to all you ladies who i'm sure will understand where i'm coming from, at least i hope.

I've just been talking to an old 'acquaintance' after not seeing her for many years. She was never 'all there' IYKWIM. She was telling me that she had 2 baby boys, and then was found to be an unfit parent so they were taken from her and she's only allowed one 1hr supervised visit per fortnight with these two boys. Then, she fell pregnant again and had her 3rd boy, only to lose him too. I don't know if she meant to come across this way, but she almost seemed proud of herself! And I'm absolutely shattered! I can't even express how utterly devastated that makes me feel. i mean, here we are wanting for a child... all of us ladies on this forum... obviously we would make great parents or we wouldn't be here, right? And yet it's so difficult for us. I'm just shattered. perhaps i'm just being overly emotional after my loss only a week ago, but that's my 3rd baby this year, lost, and she's sitting here thinking its humourous or something that her kids are being taken from her!

Fark this just makes me so mad! I got a christmas present from a lovely lady from my church yesterday. She got my daughter a barbie doll and pram, and she also gave me a gorgeous pair of newborn bonds booties. I obviously haven't told everyone about my loss... and that's so hard to cope with! Then to end the day with this 'catch up' with the old acquaintance... I can tell you that she's never welcome to speak to me again. Otherwise i'm afraid i'll be too harsh with her.

Aargh... thanks for letting me vent all of this frustration! I really need to get this out!

Do you think i'm overreacting?
