I sounds a bit brutal, otherwise. And I'm not. I'll get to it very soon. Reading this post again today, I realise I need to expand on it, to make clear WHY I was so relieved.

I think I'm pretty healthy these days, though that wasn't always the case. I have to remind myself that we all do our best as parents because inevitably we get it wrong sometimes. I certainly have. VERY wrong on occasions. The parent I admire most in the world is my youngest child who, as a single mum with currently a major disability in the shape of back pain (think morphine patches), has so much more wisdom than I did when rearing my first born. And so, whilst admiring her, I must forgive myself. THank you for giving me the opportunity to reflect on that. :) x Thank you for that, Barbara.

I firmly believe that just about no parent wakes up one morning and says, Jeepers! I'm going to screw up my kids! They do the best they can within their own human frailties.

Lots of empathy for the path you are on.
