That's right! 
Listen LADY - Stop beating yourself over the head.....(that's MY job  ) - same goes for your ex-husband (except I won't touch him  ).
I completely understand the guilt trip (I feel it too sometimes), but it's only natural for people to blame their parents or someone else for what they didn't have in life. You didn't get what you needed, and neither did I. I'm sure the same goes for our husband's. But we gave it our all, didn't we......even without a "full deck" at our disposal?
You and your husband are only guilty of loving your son and wanting what is best for him. It's not about YOU winning your hand at cards at this point. It's about AJ finding his own place at a table and learning how to use his own cards in life in the best way possible. Blaming you or your husband (or anyone) at this point is WEAK on his part.
If he needs you to work on his resume, it sounds to me like he hasn't graduated from junior high. There are plenty of places that can help him with a resume and get him started on the career path and interviews HE chooses.
