[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 581267, member: 1721"] Ooooh, Recovering! Listening to you is like listening to a really great therapist who is intimately familiar with all my issues. I need to look at this for a few days, now. You are right, though. I am stuck on working through my own guilt at whatever I did to create this. I get the piece that normal moms feel the success of their children is attributed to their parenting skills and so, parents like me would feel that we are responsible for our children's outcomes, too. Since this all started, I have been searching for that missing piece, that thing I did or did not do, that led to this outcome for those lives I brought into the world. But here is a key I did not have, before. This is my approach to all things. In the past, I have never seriously listened when it was suggested that there were other ways to see this. (That is the changed perspective piece you wrote about.) It's a strange thing, Recovering. I do feel that I can change things for the better if only I try harder, take a different approach, whatever. but you are right. That isn't exactly true.... So now, I need to think about all these things for a day or two. Thank you, Recovering. :O) Barbara [/QUOTE]
