[QUOTE="Jena, post: 389492, member: 4514"] hi I'm with Fran on this one. we all do look back, have regrets say if only i'd known about this or that. Yet you can't do it, it's self defeating you know that. 15 isn't too late either by the way. i'm trying to exercise the demon out of my almost 18 year old and will not give up :) and all my regrets lie with her by the way. i too as you do have my days where i just sit and cry wishing i had done more, made different life choices, had done different things for her etc. yet we all do the best we possibly can when we are at the point we are making the decisions. believe it or not they do grow up, and they do remember the good junk also. not just our mistakes. for example my mom welll le'Tourette's Syndrome just say she's an interesting woman and boy oh boy did she make her share of mistakes with-me. wont' blame my choices on her. they were mine. yet she set bad examples for me and wasnt' that great of a role model. it may of taken me till 40 to get it yet i love her for her now. even though she drives me nuts! :) hope that helps, hmm i just told you you gotta wait till he's 40 to feel better?!! LOL a little humor there. vent away, (((Hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
