My kids went through many hard times, and as parents we had our share of disappointments. I can tell you that I am proud of all of my adult children, and grand children.

Our son ran out on us after a fight. He now thinks his dad destroyed his youth, but he did not give any examples or arguments for it. So, why should I feel guilty, I don't even know where he's talking about.

Thanks, Gator. I sometime become overcome by my children's pain. I know it is life and that I survived to fairly normal, but it saddens me like nothing else.
