[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 681325, member: 77"] Tanya, I couldn't agree with you more. Today I have reached a state of calmness (well, that's not such an achievement when my difficult child has taken himself to the other side of the world and he's been there for the past five years!), and have the peace of mind to reflect on things. One of the main conclusions I have come to is just as you said -- we all, as parents, did the best we could for our child. We may have made mistakes and could have done it differently, but at that time and under those circumstances, that was the best that we could do. Well, no one can be expected to do more than their best. I have ALMOST reached the stage of not blaming myself, but only ALMOST. I just can't quite get there completely! Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
