[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 294729, member: 1514"] Steely...I think that is probably such an individual thing based on what our lives have been like with our kids. I never had to live in physical fear of Cory. That wasnt one of his problems. He had many others. My relationship with him was damaged for awhile but it has gotten a lot better. I dont think our relationship was ever as damaged as his relationship was with his father though. They really went through a period where it was almost a hatred type thing. They both loved each other on a deep seated level but they couldnt be in the same place without extreme anger spewing over. Now, that has been worked through and they are much much closer. Cory really wants his fathers approval and affection but never knew how to get it. His father was very hard on him too. It was a really bad situation. I am much more bonded with Cory...we are so much alike that it is really hard for me to stay mad at him for long. It is like we are cut from the same cloth. I just understand him better than most. Of course we share many similarities. We dont have guilt I dont think. Maybe he does. He did tell me that seeing me almost die was when he knew he needed to turn things around because I was so mad at him before I got sick and that if I had died, he would have never gotten the chance to let me see him do right. So maybe a little bit of guilt is there. [/QUOTE]
