Thank you for the question Mr. Stranger. It is true that we are all different, and you learn early on when you have more than one child that there isn't a cookie-cutter approach. That doesn't make raising one child any more difficult than raising another. It just means that parenting is tailor made to each one. ALL of mine were raised with equal opportunities geared toward their own individual strengths. And copious amounts of love.
I'm not sure I can give you a full understanding of it, as parenthood isn't something easily conveyed...Simply put, and at it's most basic, it is my responsibility to see my children turn into happy and healthy adults. When something goes awry or your kids are unwell...it's only natural as a parent to want to fix it. I'm not sure I can fix this. I'm not sure what the cause of it is. But I can't help but feel responsible for it....it's like...when you get lost and you say to yourself, "maybe if I would have made a left instead of a right, I wouldn't be lost"...
