[QUOTE="DDD, post: 377125, member: 35"] It would be wonderful if we could each go back and redo some of our parenting. Those of us with troubled kids normally hash and rehash choices. "If I had done X then Y might not have happened." Having those thoughts is, in my humble opinion, normal. on the other hand you can not "undo" anything that happend to you as a child and you can not "undo" anything that happened to your son. It is past. It is history. Nobody can rewrite history. The future has to be your focus. Your Mother, your brother and your son are not the focus for your future. Your future is [I]your future. [/I]You are facing a bunch of uncomfortable decisions in a very short time. You will be alone for the first time facing the world as an adult women with the goals of growth, comfort and peace of mind. That is a big job that will be much easier if you focus on the present and the future. I believe that with the help of professionals (even if they are not perfect) you can find success. It may take alot of small steps to achieve success but focusing only on each future step will reduce your anxiety and lead to a healthier life. Everyone is rooting for you. DDD [/QUOTE]
