I’ve often wondered this. I have struggled at times in wether I made all of the right choices as a parent. I have a tendency to be hard on myself and this is one time where I am doing so again, but giving myself some leeway. I have two daughters that grew up in the exact same environment and situations and turned out to be completely different from one another. One is caring, thoughtful, witty, and very empathetic. The other daughter is pretty much the exact opposite in every aspect. Now did I make all of the correct decisions? Probably not, parenting isn’t easy nor black and white all of time. Did I try the best I knew how? Yes I did.
