[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 760016, member: 18238"] Remember that feeling. You are no different that the majority of parents on this planet. Yes, we've all made mistakes but we tried our best. No one is perfect. At some point in their teens, our parenting matters less and less. Choice. That's what it all boils down to. Choice. Your son has made his, let him live with the consequences of it and stop punishing yourself for faults as a parent, both real and imagined. No one is perfect. I've seen plenty of people who came from a decent family environment who imploded their lives and just as many with terrible backgrounds who turned out just fine. Choice. It'll make you or break you.
