[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 640045, member: 18516"] My difficult child is my one and only so in the beginning when the trouble started it was very easy for me to take on all the guilt of what did I do wrong. None of us are perfect parents. A perfect parent is up there with Unicorns and Big Foot, you know a mythological creature. I have some friends that have 4 children, all raised with the same set of parents, stable home, all around nice family. 2 of their kids are out of control and the other 2 are as perfect as you can get. Being a good parent doesn't guarantee perfect kids. I certainly did not have an ideal childhood, my bio-father molested me and my sisters and according to statistics, I and my sisters should have all ended up as prostitutes. My sisters and I all have successful lives. Sure we had some bumps on the way but none of us ever played the "blame game". It would have been easy to blame or bio-father for whatever did not go well in our lives but we didn't. Each one of us took responsibility for our own lives. It's so much easier to blame someone else for what's going wrong than it is to look inward and see behavior that needs to change. What happens to us in our childhood does not dictate the rest of our life unless we allow to. Own what is yours, forgive yourself, forgive others and do your best to live your life, be grateful and happy. [/QUOTE]
