My mother was always scared for me. We talked and touched on a few sensitive topics. She told me that she cries for my pain. She said she was curious what she could have done. She feels guilty that she didn't recognize times she felt she should have intervened. She felt she failed me.

She is the most wonderful mother. She has stuck with me though tough times. She is my biggest advocate. For everything she is, and who I am, I am so blessed to have her.

She always felt guilty, but there wasn't anything to feel guilty about.

She feels she failed me, but she has actually saved my life.

If your doing everything you can think to do, don't ever blame yourself.
