I have to say I have been helpless a few times, and it's horrible. Just the fact you cannot fix the situation, and it's totally out of your control.
I watch our eldest scream out at night, & I can't stop it. I hug him and tell him it's all going to be ok, but I can't stop his past from haunting him.
I couldn't control that our second eldest was going to be born with hearing problems. I can't control the fact he has sleep apnea and stops breathing night after night - I hate seeing it.
Then our youngest was born with a bowel problem, I hate seeing him at 4.5 months old screaming in pain. I hug and hold him, but I can't make the pain go away. Then I watch his Daddy beat himself up over it, when he hasn't done anything.
Have you just ever wished you could fix everything with a *Band-Aid*??
