Hi everyone. Last month, you all helped me assess my situation with my brother (here's the link: http://community.babycenter.com/post/a46542982/dealing_with_siblings_so_--_long_post?cpg=2&pd=-1 ).
After a lot of careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that my life would be better off if we went our separate ways. The nice thing is that I have the support of my inner circle, particularly DH. Initially, I felt relief and slept like a baby the night I realized that a CO was warranted. Today, though, a feeling of sadness and grief washed over me. It almost feels like a death in the family.
My question for all of you is what kinds of emotions did you experience when you decided to CO a family member? If you had difficult emotions, did they eventually resolve themselves, or were they something that you've had to carry with you? I don't regret my decision and I know that I'm making the right one, but I didn't expect it to be this emotionally taxing. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones.
