I am mentally and physically disabled, and my children are bearing the brunt of it. If I wasn't so selfish and I didn't love them so much, I would put them in fostercare. Honestly though, when I really think about it, they are better off with me. At least I love them with everything in me. You're a mom who loves her children A LOT and is doing everything she can to take care of them, even if doing what's best for them isn't always what you'd prefer. A good parent isn't necessarily someone who has perfect children, it can be someone who does everything they can for their children when bad things happen. It sounds like you're doing everything you can to get your son the help he needs and that is being a good parent to him! You're a good mom. Link to comment
Abigail Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Exactly. From your postings, I'd say you sound like someone who is doing a pretty darn good job! Link to comment
