[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 714163, member: 13542"] Oh Albatross, I'm so sorry. This stuff is so hard. Your post made me think of that quote by Maya Angelou, [B][SIZE=4]"[I]Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."[/I][/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]That's all we can do Albie, we can only do our best and that's what you did. These are our children, we want to give them a chance......so we do......and I'll wager that every one of us here has given many, many, many, many chances before we.....knew.....better. It is what is. With everything else you have on your plate with your son, please take guilt off of it. Letting go and accepting what is with my daughter has been the hardest thing I have ever, ever done......give yourself a break..... Sending you a big hug.....do something very kind for yourself to soothe your mother's heart and recognize that you [I]always [/I]do your best......and that's [I]all[/I] we can do. :notalone:[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
