[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 484533, member: 1514"] IC, I do think you have a point with broken vs hurt. I am/was one of the broken ones. You havent been here long enough to know my history but what I went through as a child was not pretty. I rival some of the hardest of some of the kids on this board. Now Cory was hurt I guess. My upbringing certainly didnt help me be the best parent. It was a sort of learn as you go type deal. I didnt want to be my mom so I tried very hard not to be but I slipped on occasions. I think he will be better than me. On the other hand, his father had a great relationship with his parents even though they were dirt poor and his mom died when he was 15 and his dad died when he was 22. Tony is a great father. That doesnt mean he knows how to parent mentally ill kids well. We just sort of held on. They were ours. What else do you do with them? [/QUOTE]
