[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 623082, member: 17720"] This hit home for me. Until I was walking this path, I always thought "good" mothers produce "good" children. I have had so much of my self-identity tied up in being a "good" mother. In looking back, I can see that much of the time, the less difficult child wanted my oh-so-stellar parenting, the more I begged him to take it, or manipulated my way into doing it behind the scenes, or barring that, cramming it down his throat!
