I struggle with all the same questions about my three kids because I was unmedicated the entire time I raised them. I cringe and am shocked and ashamed when they remind me of things I said and did. Not to mention the fact that I may have passed this monster on to them.

I think there are many parents far worse than we are, and a child's love for and deep-seated wish for the approval of their mother is indestructible. As mine grow older (18,20,22) they are more and more forgiving and understanding.

Moms who are perfectly "normal" question their methods of raising kids. We all wish we could give them a perfect childhood.
