I apologize if my comments were not well received. I am very aware of how imperfect I am and how imperfect we all are. I have had my share of pain, and certainly know what it's like to raise a child on my own. And I too have learned quite a bit from the "zig zags" as you put it.
However I make no apologies for focusing on the kids in many of these situations, because, so often, they are completely overlooked. Perhaps I didn't word it as sensitively as many others here are able to, but I was hoping that she might look outside herself to gain some persepctive and, hopefully, extricate herself from her current funk.
I in no way meant to hurt anyone, and am truly sorry if I caused undue pain.
