I just can’t do it anymore
It’s weird, and I don’t know if other parents have the same problem, but I just can’t read/watch/hear anything where something happens to a child without getting choked up about. I’m not just talking about stuff on the news either. I can’t even read the first Harry Potter book without getting misty eyed my eyes sweating. These things make me think immediately of my boys, and how devastated I would be if something, anything were to happen to them.
I never used to be like this, I wouldn’t think twice about what the kids in the Chronicles of Narnia were going through when they were shipped off to some place other than home. But now? Not so much, I mean, how could I live with myself if something happened to these two:
I want to give them the world, and I couldn’t live without them.

You are an amazing dad Adam.
Sigh ..RT @OCFamily: Dad Blogger Adam Rogers admits: He just can't do it anymore … http://t.co/ZRZfweEx
I was reading @breakingnews feed on Twitter before bed last night, and it linked to an article about the two boys of that Mom from Utah that has been missing for over a year. I guess the Dad blew up the house, but prior to doing that he hacked at the boys necks with an axe. I don’t get it. I don’t understand. How could someone do that to a child? How could someone do that to their OWN child?
I read about that stuff, and I just cry. I cry because I feel so awful for those children and wish that I could have been their parent to keep them safe. You are not alone in how you feel. I think that any good parent would have the same feelings. I don’t know what I would do without my children, even though they drive me a bit batty. I just couldn’t go on without them.
It is a feeling that most parents (99.9%) have – so you are not alone. We are not only parents but grandparents and the feeling is still there but now it is not only with our children (adults) but with our grandchildren also. The only advise I can give is not to dwell on this feeling and thank God for this beautiful day and your marvelous family.
