[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids hate me. I try to keep busy around the clock so I won’t cry as much. My heart is broken and I feel like my life has no meaning. I wish I could get a second chance at parenting. [/quote]

What would you have done differently if you got a second chance at parenting?[/quote]

Hard for me to answer that question. I think that my parenting mistakes were related to my poor choices including choosing their father as a mate. I was not well-prepared for raising a family and had zero awareness of this. I always thought that I prioritized my children and their needs but I realize now that I failed at this in many ways. I am sure that this is how they see things. [/quote]

Kudos to your self awareness.  Talk to them and build a relationship with the adults they've become.  My mother fail me in so many ways too, but doesn't have this self awareness - like I suffered severe emotional neglect.  Every time I had any emotions (good or bad) I was punished in some way.  As an adult I don't experience joy for accomplishments.  The only emotion I'm close to is anger - and I repress that very well - I get quiet, smile, and breathe - it makes me great at my job, but distant from my parents.  I've worked through this some, but know that I'll never be normal.[/quote]
