[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 718395, member: 1550"] Our kids are born with a personality. Babies lying in a hospital nursery, just born, are different from one another from the get go. We cant control the set of genes they were dealt. We are also not their only influence. Everyone they meet influences them. As they become teens they are less and less influened by us and more influeced by their peers. What we taught them does not always stick. How they become as adults is not our faults. It took me a while to get it, but I am sure of it now. You did nothing but love and guide your son. That he chose to disregard your wise lessons is a muddle of his personality, ALL the people he has ever known and things that happened to him, most not under your control. We give ourselves way too much credit in the formation of our childrens lives, positive and negative. Be good to yourself and let go of your sons outcome for now. You have no control over his story's ending. Nurture yourself. That will help both of you the most. You deserve kindness. So be kind to yourself. [/QUOTE]
