[QUOTE="kenazfehu, post: 723280, member: 22470"] I have no solutions for you. I am posting to acknowledge that we've all made parenting mistakes, I am sure. I know I have. The important thing is that I was doing the very best that I could at the time, and we really can't ask more of each other than that. It often seems that I've raised a very messed up son, but I also raised a daughter who stayed in school for a master's degree and makes more money now than I do. If I were a total waste as a parent, wouldn't my daughter be messed up too? I don't know. Sometimes I remind myself that when I decided that I wanted to have children, I imagined that I would accept them as they were, however they came to me. I still struggle to do that, just as I would struggle if one of them had been deformed or mentally delayed or suffering from a debilitating disease. [/QUOTE]
