[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 313098, member: 1514"] Oh honey...dont be so hard on yourself. Many people have fallen into the grasp of drug abuse. It happens. But look at you. You are in recovery and are taking care of your kids! That is wonderful. What an accomplishment. We could all kick ourselves for things we have done. Is it my fault my son has a personality disorder? Many psychologists and psychiatrists would probably say so because they tend to blame personality disorders on a persons childhood. I know we are convinced my personality disorder stems from my horribly abusive childhood. So I have to think really hard about what kind of parent I was and see if I can accept any of the blame. I probably can but I know I did the best I could back then and when I knew better, I tried to do better. I didnt always succeed but who can? Im not a saint. I failed miserably at times. In the end, my sons behaviors are on him just like my behaviors are on me. You are a good mom doing her very best with what you know. [/QUOTE]
