[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 430524, member: 11235"] I do it a lot. I posted a similar thread on here one time and some wise person said the following (I'm paraphrasing, of course): Did you intentionally ignore, neglect or in any other way try to harm your child? Did you do things on purpose knowing that they would adversely affect your child? Of course you didn't. You tried your best and did what you thought was in your child's best interest, therefore you are not responsible for how they turned out. And this is true. I would bet all of the people on here were conscientious, loving parents because otherwise we would not still be so concerned about our children and posting to these boards to get advice and comfort. When I feel really bad I try to remember that. And I can't tell you the number of times "I didn't raise her like that" runs through my mind. Think of some of the people you know who are great people and came from horrible parenting situations. If it was all because of parenting then those people would turn out horribly while our children would be great! [/QUOTE]
