[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639931, member: 1550"] I just wanted to bring this up because some of us are working very hard on just accepting and loving our grown kids for who they are, even if they are not following the path we wanted them to follow. Anyone not able to accept and love herself as she is? I just ask because I spent soooooooooooo many years hating myself, hating the way I handled things, hating my weaknesses, as I say them, just hating on myself. Therapy, years and years of it, has made me accept who I am and go easy on me when I make a mistake and to change when it is necessary. I can accept that I have flaws and what they are without hating myself. I just wanted to remind my board friends to try accepting who we are as much as we try to accept our adult kids the way THEY are. The other path leads to chronic guilt and unhappiness. Been there/done that/have the tee-shirt ;) [/QUOTE]
