[QUOTE="houseofcards, post: 9145, member: 1871"] I jokingly say adulthood is given to us to fix the things that our parents did to us. It is kinda true. I know I have flaws that have negatively affected my kids, and I know some of my mother's limitations have caused me problems, but I also know that she parented better then she was parented and I have continued the upward spiral and have done a little better then her. When you can give out to your kids better then you received I don't thing you have anything to feel bad about. It is really hard to give out things that you never got when you needed them but I think it is also helpful to ourselves to do that. I think I heard once that it was a bit like reparenting yourself when you could do it better with your kids. You are going through a rough time, be easy with yourself. [/QUOTE]
