Five kids.  32 (married with a child), 29 (married with a child), 27 (single), 25 (engaged), 20 (in college).  Great relationships with all five.  Two of them are in therapy.  One is a military officer with PTSD.  The other has struggled with anxiety and an eating disorder.

I posted earlier that I would apologize for anything I might have done to contribute to their hurt.  And I would remind them over and over again that I love them unconditionally and that nothing could ever change that.

I was certainly far from a perfect parent.  I did the best I could with the knowledge and experience I had at the time.  I made mistakes along the way, of course.  I would openly acknowledge any hurt I caused and apologize.  I would also ask what I could do to help in the healing process. [/quote]
