[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making someone's life better than your own doesn't necessarily mean they had a GOOD life. If you were beaten twice a day and you only beat your child once a week, you still beat your child, you see?

Saying "I'm sorry if I contributed to your unhappiness...." is not a real apology. It's the word "if" that's the problem. You need to change it to the word "that".

But lets review what he's saying: his parents were fighting, you wouldn't let him be an independent thinker regarding religion, and on top of all that, he was isolated via homeschooling. Yeah, who wouldn't be upset by all that?! [/quote]

This is a little harsh. Everyone is doing the best they can. I can agree with the apology without an "if" but no need to pile on the OP. OP, I'm sorry. I am someone who went to therapy and thought that a lot of issues were caused by my parents (and honestly? I have fantastic parents, but no one is perfect). Once I had my own kid this past year, I can only imagine the random ways I could possibly screw up my 1 year old in future years. I'm just going to do the absolute best I can to not. But as a parent, I get it now. Don't beat yourself up over it, and just do what you need to do to move forward to try and have a great relationship with you son.[/quote]
