When I read about the stages and changes your little girl went through growing up, it reminded me of my own child. I wish I could turn back time...
I feel you, dear @bluemoon. Your words show what a good person you are.
I asked myself all the time - what future would she have if I'd be a better mother? I was constantly tormented by remorse. I stopped it just recently, when I realized that she became a very good person.
There are lots of what we could do better, sometimes we do mistakes and learn from them. One day I told my daughter about all my concerns, and I said I am sorry for that. Since then, I feel better.😉
This is proof that you, parents, are good people. Children are influenced, in most cases, by the way their parents are. They've been watching us even when we haven't noticed...
I believe that and that's my hope.
