[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 552672, member: 13542"] Rumpole, thank you for your apology, I appreciate that you gave this some thought and that you were willing to come forth like you did, that really shows your character and your heart. I can understand how having your Mum visit opened up a slew of feelings on many levels. And, my initial response to you was that you were trying to protect difficult child's, certainly understandable given your history. It's always, for me, a big growth experience to see my part in something and then have the willingness and the courage to own it and apologize. [I] I think you do your Mum proud[/I]. And, just so you know, many of us (kids) spend a lifetime trying to be "enough" for our parents, their expectations for us, with all the very best intentions, can feel hard to live up to. I know that feeling too, sometimes we never outgrow it no matter how old we are. (((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
