: - ) I shed buckets of tears during the preschool years. I got the "chew you up and spit you out" in the pick up line quite often, and the other parents often quickly herded their children away from us. And the teacher wondered why the other students and my DD weren't meshing!
It does get better. First you learn more about your child and ease into parenting a child like that (my DD is a "straight to D child for sure!) and you develop a new normal (which sometimes feels like the only other people who can understand are the people behind the user names on this forum!)
And your child matures, and has more opportunities to channel their intellect and talents and energy. When my DD was 3 and 4 I used to just look at her sometimes and think the poor thing was one big, huge personality stuck in a little person's body!
Good luck and enjoy the ride!!
