[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713091, member: 1550"] Oh, always felt this way. Heck, oldest has always been difficult. Except for contributing bad DNA, I fortunately never blamed my parenting. Nor do I feel that my other kids are terrific because of me. I think its largely DNA and maybe them having to work hard for what they have. Im glad you posted this. Way too many parents take the blame for adult kids who dont turn out like the kids from The Brady Bunch. Its just not true. And, yes, the internet is another hige facter. Parents once had way more power than they do now. The psychiatric community is quickly changing nature/nurture blaming as well. The mental health community when ai was 23, first getting services, then believed that autism was a severe form of schizophrenia caused by "refrigerator moms." Everything was moms fault. Thanks, Freud. But we know more thirty-five to forty years later and will know even more with time. Babyboomers were sadly raised to believe children were molded only by their parenting skills. It is not true. Except for having my closest relatives full of mostly unacknowledged mental health prolems, and getting bad DNA, I dont blame my lousy upbringing as the cause of my now very controlled mood disorder. Depression is/was rampant in my closest relatives as well as eating disorders and anxiety. Thats why I got a mood disorder. It was not bad parenting, even though my the parenting was not good. I dont blame that at all. [/QUOTE]
