[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 744700, member: 18958"] Look. You can rip yourself apart put yourself back together and do it over again. And it won't make your daughter whole. Why? Nobody's whole. Leonard Cohen has a song with a lyric that says it all: the cracks are where the light gets in. In my faith which I share with Cohen that light is G-d. We are each of us on a journey thru life. Nobody can do it for somebody else. The why questions will only prompt us to find a culprit, which usually leads us back to us. While I have deep affection and respect for the other posters whose words led you to express you didn't parent your child, I disagree wholeheartedly. You parented the best you could. Just as we all do. That other parent, every other parent--me, you, all of us do the best we can do. There is no perfect parent. They don't exist. That is what Naina is trying to tell you. And that is what Leonard Cohen is telling you too. The answers for your daughter she will find. Each of us is on a quest to find our own. [/QUOTE]
