[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 699354, member: 15032"] Hi Thea I think this is a hard one to answer.... I think it came for me from seeing my older son grow into a wonderful man. He was one I thought would have problems since his father and I divorced when he was a baby and I have been married to his stepfather for 24 years. I knew by the way that he turned out that I was a good parent. I may not have thought that otherwise because our youngest has been struggling for many years and you always ask yourself, what did I do wrong? What could I have done differently? In the end, we all do the best we can do with the tools we have. I think most want to improve upon our own childhood also in some way, especially if it was not good. Mine was not good. In the end our adult children have to make their own lives and their own decisions. I am at peace knowing that I did not leave any stone unturned to help him. The journey is now his. [/QUOTE]
