[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 754488, member: 24721"] Acacia, I can so relate to your feelings. So far I only have one of my three off the rails, but I feel every bit as much a failure as you do. So I completely understand and empathise, but neither of us should feel that way. Our children are adults. We did the best we could. We loved them and provided for them. We nurtured them and gave them everything that was in our power to give. We did not abandon them, abuse them or neglect them. We have gone above and beyond what parents of "normal" kids have to. We have cried and begged and prayed for them. We have made sacrifices. And still they are who they are. You are not a failure. You deserve better. We all do. [/QUOTE]
