[QUOTE="Lil, post: 663665, member: 17309"] I have a feeling ever mother on this board has done that. I've often wondered if Jabber and I didn't pay enough attention to him, if we should have pushed him more, if we pushed him too much, if we were too hard on him and if we were too easy on him. Should we have gone to church more? Should we have put him in private school? I want to "help" him to prove I love him. To make up for not having shown him enough love. Even though he wanted for nothing. Even though I told him I loved him ever single day of his life. I've thought...we promised to take him digging for diamonds in Arkansas. We never did. It may be the only promise we never kept. That was it. He's turned out this way because we didn't take him to dig for diamonds in Arkansas when he was 9. :rolleyes: So as a teenager he's lied and stolen and done drugs and .... Maybe not. Seriously - if anyone reading this has NOT wondered, at least in the beginning, what they did wrong - speak up. I would LOVE to know how you managed to not blame yourself. [/QUOTE]
