[QUOTE="klmno, post: 389497, member: 3699"] ((HUGS)) Remember, we do the best we can with what we know. All of us here have regrets so you aren't alone- I could write a book about mine and I'm sure it wouldn't be finished yet. At least you know enough to know that you can't know everything and you did the best you could. So many parents or adults without children never come to understand that there is no perfect parent, no perfect child, and no right answer that will work for every child every stage thru raising them. To me, a good parent is one who teaches values to their child by never giving up, advocating and discipling as best they can when appropriate, always loving, and realizing that they- the parent- isn't perfect either so they can teach the child that being a good parent isn't about being perfect- it's about being [I]there[/I]. You did that. [/QUOTE]
