[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 396663, member: 6546"] Jan-- Yes, like others here...I can admit that I've made my share of mistakes as a parent. There have been times that I have sat DS or difficult child down and had a heart-to-heart talk with them where I apoligize and tell them I love them and made a mistake. This usually goes well with DS - I have walked away from such a talk feeling like we strengthened our relationship. One of the things that is so hard with a difficult child is that they cannot seem to forget or accept an apology. It's like once you say or do something, it becomes this HUGE thing that they will remember forever and will only grow larger over time. Amd that definitely makes it harder to forgive oneself as a parent - knowing that that moment of hurt is never, ever going to go away for difficult child. [/QUOTE]
