| I think we can all look back and see things we could have done better as a parent. We all have our first child and thats usually the one you learn from. Mine has taught me quite alot and the road still hasn't been smooth. I still guide him but life will have to be the teacher...it sure was for me. I had a ghost in my closet (black velvet) when I was trying to go through getting over the death of his Dad (kidney cancer). It didn't take a long time to get back up from the bottom but a lot of people still tells him stories and he had always used them against me when I would get on him. I think we are all going to have to see we are far from being perfect but thats ok cause that makes us human...I think its facing up to the fact that we make mistakes that will give us the courage to fix it and move past it. the help is out there...we just have to ask. |

I think you REALLY narrowed it down, FIREYONE. EVERYONE does make mistakes....I think that's how we ALL learn from life. At times, it's difficult to move on..no matter what the issue is. Sounds like everyone that has posted on this thread is doing a good job at that.  |

You've both hit it on the head, EVERYONE has a demon somewhere that they either eventually overtake or it overtakes them...our poor OP's was public...(ie dui etc)....this by no means says she cannot overcome this and be a better person for it....I know you know this OP, but you are sooooooooo fortunate that your 'ex' is supportive rather than 'coming after' you and your daughter, I hazard a guess that his kind behavior toward you is in the minortiy...

| I am glad we all agree. I do not like to be judgemental because no one gets through life with out a few mistakes to say the least. I can remember always being told by my religious neighbor that mistakes were OK as long as you learned from them and didn't keep repeating them. I like Lori's explanation about demons..I could not have said it better. |

| Whatever issues we ARE going through, I'm pretty sure we ALL learn from....ie. how we handle it, what's the 'next step', etc. No one has walked in our shoes...everyone is in their 'own stage of life.' We do the best we can. |

You can 'barrow' MY shoes, for a while, FIREYONE!! I need a brake, anyway.  ( Seriously..) The grass is not ALWAYS greener on the other side. |
