[QUOTE="Steely, post: 484216, member: 3301"] Wow - this post just made me cry. First of all, I find it touching that no one "voted" - because none of us are that cut or dry in our thinking. Second of all, what every one of you said is how I feel about Matt. I mean, he is mine. My son. If I could go back and change him, I might, just so he would be happier. But I would never exchange him for a newer, better model. He is who is he is - and there are so many things I adore about him. The sad thing is that he asks me all the time if I had it to do over again, would I get pregnant with him again. It pinches my soul every time he asks that. Truthfully if I had it to do all over again, I would not have children. I see all the pain Matt has gone through, and if I had it to do over again, I would not bring any person into this world who could be subject to abusers, mental illness, bullying, etc. But do I [I]regret[/I] having Matt? No. Never. He is MY kid - to always be loved and cherished. It's really hard to explain, and for some reason it has be sorta choked up. It just is what it is - no regrets. [/QUOTE]
