[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 615009, member: 1514"] cedar, I just have to tell you something. YOU WERE NOT BAD PARENTS!!!!! I am pretty darned sure I have a ton more things from my childhood to complain about than either of your kids...combined. I do hold my mom responsible for many things and I have absolutely no doubt that she is responsible for the fact that I have borderline personality disorder. Oh boo hoo that you didnt send your daughter to dance classes. I seriously doubt she would be a professional ballerina at this point in her life! Many many kids dont get college educations paid for by their parents. My kids grew up knowing we could never pay for it. Personally I think people who get through college on their own dime appreciate it more. I know I did. I messed up the fact that my parents could have, and would have, paid for me to go to anywhere I wanted but I blew it. I later went on my own dime in my mid-twenties and I was so tickled pink to get that degree. I also worked a heck of a lot harder when I knew I wanted this degree. In fact, I graduated with a 4.0 average and I had 3 kids by the time I graduated. Believe me, studying with newborns and toddlers isnt easy! I will also tell you that if your daughter has a head injury some of her instability is probably caused by that. I know you remember when I was so sick. They considered that to be a pretty severe brain injury. It took me quite awhile to become myself again. I wasnt so much lashing out as I was so very childlike. Pretty pitiful actually. I think the first time I drove my car I went 25 mph the whole way...lol. Im also pretty sure you remember some of the really strange delusions I had while I was in the coma and immediately after.
