[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 519767, member: 13542"] Yup, I'd venture to say that most of us, if not all, have gone through pretty much exactly what you described, right down to the guilt and regret. It is being human like everyone else has mentioned. And, you did correct it and apologize. I once had a teacher who said, 'life is about making mistakes, because we learn from them', and then he would say, "go out there and make some mistakes!" It took the shame and guilt away and allowed us to see that, as humans, this is how we learn. And, when we are pushed to the extremes that we are here, we react, sometimes not the way we would want to, but we do. We always can apologize and make it right, and that's what you did. Perhaps he won't let it go, but you can. Hugs to you sweet Mom, forgive yourself. [/QUOTE]
