My kids had a difficult childhood and it's taken me a long time to come to terms with that, I blamed myself for staying too long with their father who was not exactly an ideal role model 
But somehow they've both turned out to be magnificent human beings ~ loving, intelligent, creative and conversely, I wonder whether their adverse circumstances somehow triggered those qualities some extent

I think as a younger man I should have been less angry and reactive, more empathy towards others and a bit less black and white about everything.
In the end of that era, more accepting of failure, and not let my kids watch me fall apart. Maybe less self-pity and been more goal orientated.
The current era, somehow get past the 6 month mark, and maybe not as quick to abandon the relationship at the first argument.

Cheers Serene, I guess you hit a nerve blaming yourself.
To quote an awesome New Zealander, Russel Ingall,- if you keep looking back all that happens is you get a sore neck... Not sure if he's quoting somebody else too.

Life is difficult isn't it hun We can only do what we feel is right in our hearts and there's no doubt in my mind that you're a lovely warm caring and kind human being and that's without even meeting you in person
I think we know that we couldn't live with ourselves if we went against our tru nature and that's what matters in the end, don't you think

I'm not usually one for looking back and regretting the past to be honest Pat
in fact I'm probably a little emotionally-detached to some extent which is probably some kind of safety net But I guess there's been some emotion around our upcoming Mother's Day this year which has found me a bit reflective

And as I do this, my girl child is sending me pics of her on stage, receiving her award for a Polish language unit which is part of the sociology section of her Environmental Science degree..
And she didn't even tell me it was coming up
lol
She takes my breath away, so proud
