[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 473388, member: 12928"] Hon, my parents alternated spoiling me rotten with beating me black and blue (I'm sure the first involved some guilt over the second). What I did with that was to become a straight-A student, responsible mom and employee and build a solid life, including taking care of both of my parents during their final illnesses. Everything is choices. We respond to what happens to us in life based on who we are as a person, not based on what our parents did or did not do. I think you've wanted the best for him, and are even now trying to figure out a way to make that happen. Beating yourself up will not magically fix the bad choices he makes, and as a PP said, devalues him. His choices are ALL HIS, good and bad, and he gets both the blame and the credit (as soon as he does something credit-worthy). [/QUOTE]
