[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 297923, member: 7083"] I think you need to forgive yourself. I think this is yet another area that separates the easy child's from the difficult child's. There isn't a parent out there who hasn't said something s/he regrets in the heat of the moment. We apologize. We're sincere. easy child's move on; difficult child's use it against you. Especially if they think you feel guilt over it. Our kids have said way worse to us. I don't mean to sound cynical, but with what I'm going through with difficult child at the moment, I'm being crucified for things I didn't even say in the context she's using them in - and things I didn't even say at all. Maybe that's blurring this subject for me. I think anything can wound a person forever if they let it. The basic truth is none of us are perfect. We do the best we can. Sometimes we slip. We make ammends. [/QUOTE]
