[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 678935, member: 19905"] That is a beautiful way to put it - "what if vs. what is." I think we all beat ourselves up with the "what ifs." As parents, we feel responsible for our children's happiness and well-being. We all make mistakes, we all look back and reflect on "if only" moments, but the fact is that parents who have the best kids made mistakes and have "if only" moments. Every choice we made was made with love and their best interests in mind. We did the best we could with what we knew at the time, and when we knew better, we did better, which is what we are here continuing to do - supporting and learning from each other, so we can continue to do the best we can.
