In Dealing with Emotions

Okay, I need help. Trying to deal with my daughter i cry at times because im scared and i am a worry bug and my biggest fear is loosing my children to something other than natural causes and it's hard for me to sleep at night.. I dream that my oldest daughter is killed and i just dont think its normal for that to happen. My career is criminal justice and my fear didnt get as strong about death and my children until about a month ago. Whats going on. Whats happening to me... I sit up for hours crying about things that in my heart i know won't happen but in my head its a big "WHAT IF"

Relax, relax, relax! You have the best grip on your kids and as long as you teach them proper techniques, you're good. All 5 of my children over 1, have taken self defense. If that's what you need to give them for you to feel that they're safe, do it, and they WILL be safe.

Good Luck and You'll be FINE!

I think a lot of your worry is brought on by what you see with your job. You see the worst of the system. You have to trust and know that you are doing the best that you know how with them. Are you in a church? If not, get one.
I have never been a big worrier, but occasionally I do have the what if questions and wonder if something is going to happen to them when I'm not around. I think that is a part of being a Mother. For as many children that you have, you have that many pieces of your heart walking around. My oldest 2, right now, are on a hunting trip with my sister & her family. Last night I had those feelings. Knowing that my children are a gift from the Lord and that He holds them in His hand. He is in control. He gave them to us, even if it's but for a season. Trust & pray. It's hard to give them to the Lord, but He gave them to you...trust that He knows best.
