Am I steering my own, true course or heading for the rocks?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 742652, member: 18958"] SWOT. This hurts. I feel you are judging me. I did the best I could at the time. When I knew to do better, I did. I did not get to this point from weakness and neglect or indifference. I got here because whatever I tried did not work, and I did not know better, at the time. M has only tried to help me and help J. It was not a desire to control on his part. Everybody has a personality. He has his. What I cop to is not bearing the full responsibility and feeling overcome by the burden. I willingly shared it. But I thought it might work. M says something very wise. He says: [I]there is no school for parents. And for each child, there is no guidebook. Because we have to start again because that child is new to us. [/I] We have done some things right. All three of us. I have. Joseph has. M has. There has been no criminality that I know of. Never. There have been no hard drugs. Joseph is a good, kind person. I am. M is. We are still at it, trying. We are in communication. We are intact. We are together. There is love. I believe J is learning. I am learning. I am stepping up. I am stronger. I could not start out where you were, because I am me, not you. I start where I am, as do you. Thank you for your support SWOT. [/QUOTE]
