Hi, <BR>I'm having a bad day - or is it those maternity hormones - no its a bad day. But I've had a cry and a bath, now I'm ready to go on. But I'm worried about tomorrow night. WH is supposed to be coming with me to antenatal classes (our first one) but I'm worried about his attitude about it. He had a full-on confronting God-experience day today apparently about the A. And has managed to upset me since then.<P>It's just crazy - I get to a point where I really feel I don't care much as I used to and feel like I'm happy to be friends only, then I get upset at the slightest thing. I cried out to God to take him away from me and that I don't want him back anymore because I can't handle the hurt he brings me. I don't want to hope anymore. I want to get on with my life. But I'm having this baby in 10 weeks and whether I like it or not WH's going to be around a bit longer. I just don't have the strength today.<P>Is it normal to go through phases of being ok with friendship then feeling destroyed? How do you move on without giving up and feeling ok about yourself? Is it possible to keep hope without getting hurt? Everyone tells me to make my plans (life without him) but not to lose hope. That seems crazy.<P>How will I handle being with him at these classes when I feel so angry, yet when I do spend time with him I feel so sad for him. Which is the real me?<P>Dancer

Dancer,<P>We call it the "rollercoaster" for just that reason. Add the rollercoaster of pregnancy hormones and you are truly on the "big girl's" rollercoaster.<P>It is perfectly normal to go back and forth from hope to despair, from loving to dislike... you just concentrate on that baby!<P>Best of luck to you!<P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>
