[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 357744, member: 84"] You're not a failure. What one of us hasn't made mistakes with our kids in one way or another? That's a part of parenting. I know I've been known to make some real whoppers myself. BUT regardless of parenting, I believe there is a point where the child takes on the responsibility for themselves. Period. And regardless of faulty parenting, they need to build their own life the right way. I came from a very abusive/neglectful background. Honestly, my Mom stunk as a parent. And I was a difficult child as a kid, as were my sibs. (at least 4 of us) But as an adult I chose the way I wanted to live my life and I chose to not repeat the mistakes of my Mom or to spend the rest of my life being a difficult child while placing the blame at her feet. Another sib did too. The other 3 chose to wallow in gfgdom and blame my Mom. We all do the best we can with what we know at the time. No one can ask any more of us than that, even ourselves. Hugs [/QUOTE]
