[QUOTE="Beta, post: 750581, member: 22597"] I try to remember the same thing, "I did the best I could with the tools I had at the time." My husband had to remind me of this yesterday when I was beating myself up for not recognizing that Josh had mental health issues sooner, such as when he was an older teen, for example, or even a very young adult. At the time, I thought he was just the typical lazy, selfish, entitled "millennial" you see often these days, and that he just needed to "grow up" some more. Now I can look back and see things. But, at the time, not knowing there was Bipolar in his biological mom and knowing little to nothing of mental health issues, I (we) just didn't recognize it for what it was. And now here we are. I too need to learn to be gentler with myself. [/QUOTE]
