[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 408527, member: 7948"] FWIW I think nothing short of killing your kid rules out your being a better parent. Are some things so unforgivable that your child should probably be taken away? Certainly. But that does not mean that YOU cannot become a better parent - even if all it means is staying away from your child and giving their care to others. As for respect - while it's admirable to have the integrity that leads you to feel unhappy you responded this way a few times, I doubt your pre-teen will have any less respect for you than he probably already does. Unfortunately. Don't buy into the black and white way of seeing the world - we are all human and make mistakes. Especially when pushed to the edge by difficult child's. Hugs, Patricia Patricia [/QUOTE]
