[QUOTE="Shari, post: 344512, member: 1848"] Hi Dazed. I've not had this experience yet, but I can tell you, even as the parent of difficult child 1, who is for the most part successful, I still feel like there were plenty of things I did wrong or failed him at. With Wee, its even worse. My exMIL, who raised my difficult children' father, at 67, still plays the "what if" game. She works hard to not beat herself up over the choices her grown son has made. She has two other grown sons who are pillars of their communites, and even with them, she still struggles about where she went wrong with my ex. I don't think it ever goes away. You just hope to find peace within yourself for the choices you made. I strive to always do the best I can with what I have, just so I'll be able to sleep in my own skin when I'm 60. Do I always succeed? No. But I try, and that's all you can do. Hugs. FWIW, I agree this is his best shot. [/QUOTE]
